Reinhold Niebuhr is renowned for his unflinching honesty concerning issues of social ethics; specifically; love and justice. Humans; Niebuhr says; are incapable of perfect love. Therefore; their struggle against evil and injustice is doomed to only relative victory; although they strive to live in the ideal world. Niebuhr's concern with this paradox gave rise to numerous writings over the years in which he explored the many angles; subtleties; heights; and depths of the problems of humanity and society. Now sixty-four of these important pieces are compiled in a single volume; providing evidence of Niebuhr's belief that positive decisions and actions are possible for Christians.The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.

There are three biographies from early American history that our outstanding. A whole book like that would have been tremendous. The book as it is is also tremendous though - The central thread of testimony as preaching is excellent and challenging and forward looking. And the closing portion of the book is just an inspirational read for preachers (I am one) and also I suspect for those who listen to preachers and interact with their ideas - and maybe testify themselves. Great read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A different perspective on preachingBy Alan BrownReally enjoyed reading a preaching book that isn’t the typical directions; but a direction - as Florence puts it. The historical examples she uses of female preachers are helpful for men and women alike.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerBUT the book was not sampled properly so that makes it very hard to read.
