To See the Kingdom: The Theological Vision of H. Richard Niebuhr

From dust jacket notes: "This work traces the development of H. Richard Niebuhr's thought, showing both the dynamics and the inner structure of the theology of one of the most influential of twentieth-century American theologians. Niebuhr's vision and his strategy of theological communication are of more than historical interest. In a time when many are increasingly aware of the need for mystical vision, he offers a this-worldly mysticism of hope and responsibility in powerfully fresh language and metaphor."
