The Nature and Destiny of Man: A Christian Interpretation - Volume One: Human Nature; Volume Two: Human Destiny

Arguably Niebuhr's most important work, this book offers a sustained articulation of his theological ethics and is considered a landmark in 20th-century thought. This book issues a challenge to Western civilization to understand its roots in the faith of the Bible. The growth, corruption and purification of the important Western emphases on individuality are chronicled here insightfully.
