| Summary: | It is an appropriate time to recall the thought, politics, and religion of one of America's great thinkers and theologians, Reinhold Niebuhr. Indeed, we have a U.S. president who calls Niebuhr his “favorite thinker,” and we live in a time of some irony, where America's greatest virtues have become her greatest vice. Niebuhr would not have been surprised. Richard Crouter's Reinhold Niebuhr: On Politics, Religion, and Christian Faith wants to uncover not the what of this renaissance but the why. The rise of Niebuhr is signaled by the new edition of The Irony of American History in 2008, prefaced and promoted by Andrew Bacevich, one of the chief critics of the Iraq War and what he perceives as the overextension of American power. |
