Nature and Destiny of Man: Volume One: Human Nature - Paperback

by Reinhold Niebuhr (Author)

2018 Reprint of 1941 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Volume One: Human Nature. A collection of theological lectures delivered by Niebuhr in 1939, The Nature and Destiny of Man tackles the Christian concept of human nature, the powerlessness of man, and Christianity's impact on human history. Delivered just before the outbreak of World War II, these lectures were so influential that Cold War containment policies and aspects of realpolitik can be traced back to them. Especially recommended for those interested in ontology.
