The Nature and Destiny of Man
Book • 1941
In *The Nature and Destiny of Man*, Reinhold Niebuhr presents a comprehensive Christian interpretation of human existence, focusing on the dual aspects of human nature: finitude and freedom.
The book, based on his 1939 Gifford Lectures, challenges Western civilization to understand its roots in biblical faith, particularly the Hebraic tradition.
It is considered one of the most important works of twentieth-century thought, offering profound insights into human nature, history, and the end of history.
