An Important and Revealing Copy
The Nature and Destiny of Man
$600.00New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1949.  First one volume edition. Signed and inscribed by Niebuhr, adding “I try in this volume to explain that the meaning of life for the individual and the whole of mankind is found in the love as it is revealed in Christ.” An important and revealing copy of this landmark of twentieth-century thought. Exploring the complexities of human nature and the philosophical and theological implications of humanity’s existence, the Nature and Destiny of Man was rated number 18 of the Modern Library’s Top 100 Nonfiction works in the 20th century.  “A collection of theological lectures delivered by Niebuhr in 1939, The Nature and Destiny of Man tackles the Christian concept of human nature, the powerlessness of man, and Christianity’s impact on human history. Delivered just before the outbreak of World War II, these lectures were so influential that Cold War containment policies and aspects of realpolitik can be traced back to them. Highly recommended for fans of ontology.”
