A definitive collection of writings by the theologian and public intellectual who was the conscience of the American Century &ldquo One of my favorite philosophers,&rdquo remarked Barack Obama about the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892&ndash 1971) in 2007. President Obama is but one of the many American political leaders&mdash including Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King Jr.&mdash to be influenced by Niebuhr&rsquo s writings. Throughout the 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 Library of America volume, prepared by Niebuhr&rsquo s daughter, is a collection of four indispensable books&mdash 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)&mdash and other essays, sermons, and lectures. Notable entries include Niebuhr's world-famous Serenity Prayer, plus his writings on Prohibition, the Allied bombing of Germany, apartheid in South Africa, and the Vietnam War&mdash many of which are collected here for the first time.
