Reviews
"The indispensable Library of America, the most useful publishing venture in American letters, has produced an edition of Niebuhr's major works, annotated by Niebuhr's daughter, Elisabeth Sifton, a highly regarded editor and publisher. It belongs in the library of every student of U. S. foreign policy." --Walter Russell Mead, Foreign Affairs "Reading his work today, amid our own challenges of social inequality and imperial hubris, suggests we still need Niebuhr's insight as much as ever." --Adam Kirsch, The New York Review of Books "A fine introduction to one of the 20th century's most influential intellectuals." --Barton Swaim, The Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
Throughout the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War, Niebuhr was one of the most prominent public voices of his time, probing with singular style the question of how to act morally in a fallen world. This volume, prepared by Niebuhr's daughter, Elisabeth Sifton, collects four indispensable books: Leaves from the Notebook of a Tamed Cynic (1929), Moral Man and Immoral Society (1932), The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness (1944) and The Irony of American History (1952), along with a selection of essays, sermons, lectures and prayers., A definitive collection of the theologian and public intellectual who was the conscience of the American Century. "One of my favorite philosophers," remarked Barack Obama about the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) in 2007. President Obama is but one of the many American political leaders--including Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King Jr.--to be influenced by Niebuhr's writings.
