Reinhold Niebuhr was a theologian, writer, and public intellectual who influenced religious leaders and social activists in the United States over four crucial decades in the middle of the twentieth century. The Oxford Handbook of Reinhold Niebuhr traces the development of his work through those years and provides an introduction to the dialogue partners and intellectual adversaries whom he influenced and who shaped his own thinking. It deals with major
topics in theology and ethics, providing systematic focus to Niebuhr's wide-ranging works that were directed to many different audiences. Later chapters examine Niebuhr's contributions to political thinking and policy making on issues including international relations, pacifism and the use of force, racial and
economic justice, family life and gender equality, and environmental concerns. The concluding section examines Niebuhr's legacy and continuing influence.

Rt Revd Dr John Saxbee, The Church Times
«This handbook is a worthy predecessor of Kegley's and Bretall's important 1956 volume Reinhold Niebuhr: His Religious, Social, and Political Thought...it enriches the literature and allows younger students and scholars to get an impression of the width and depth of Niebuhr's life and work.»
Christoph Rohde, Religion and the Liberal State in Niebuhr's Christian Realism
«As K. Healan Gaston says, studying Niebuhr will continue "to engage those who care about religion, politics, and the quest for earthly justice." This book serves as a terrific springboard for such study.»
