Book Synopsis
For a theologian who died in 1971, Reinhold Niebuhr is maintaining a remarkably high profile in the twenty-first century. This book tackles the complicated question of why, at a time of great uncertainty about America's proper role in the world, leading politicians and thinkers are turning to Niebuhr for answers.

Trade Review
"A good introduction to the works of a complex man, it adroitly places Niebuhr's thought among the twentieth-century intellectual milieu that Mr. Diggins spent a lifetime studying." (Economist)"
