Reinhold Niebuhr

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have accepted the invitation to write this book with relish for the simple reason that it gives me the opportunity to express publicly my great indebtedness to Dr. Niebuhr. I first came across his work during a deep crisis in my own inner life, which Dr. N iebuhr, more than any contemporary thinker, helped me to resolve. Ifi can mediate him to men and women who may be struggling in the throes of some similar crisis, I shall feel amply 'ustified and rewarded.
