H. Richard Niebuhr

    Helmut Richard Niebuhr bol jedným z najdôležitejších kresťanských teologických etikov 20. storočia v Amerike. Jeho teológia, spolu s teológiou jeho kolegu Hansa Wilhelma Freie, sa stala jedným z hlavných zdrojov postliberálnej teológie, známej aj ako „škola z Yale“. Predovšetkým sa zamýšľal nad tým, ako kultúra a náboženstvo vzájomne vplývajú na seba a ako by mali kresťania zodpovedne reagovať na svet okolo seba. Jeho vplyv je badateľný v dielach mnohých nasledovníkov.

    Der Gedanke des Gottesreichs im amerikanischen Christentum
    Responsibility of the Church for Society and Other Essays by H. Richard Niebuhr
    • This collection of essays from one of America's great theological minds explores the nature and meaning of Christian community. First published between 1945 and 1960, these essays make clear for the first time H. Richard Niebuhr's moral theology of the church. Understanding Christianity itself as a movement--and not an institution--Niebuhr argues that, at their best, Christian communities should express the ongoing, transforming relation of God and the world. The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.
