Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores how Reinhold Niebuhr, an inner-city pastor, ethics professor, and author of the famous Serenity Prayer, continues to compel minds and stir consciences in the twenty-first century. It includes interviews with leading voices as well as people who knew Niebuhr personally to help understand his enduring impact on American life and thought as cited by such public figures as Billy Graham, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama. |
