God the Center of Value Value Theory in Theology of H. Richard Niebuhr

In this careful analysis of the theological and ethical thought of H. Richard Niebuhr, prominent twentieth-century Protestant theologian, C. David Grant shows the close relation between Niebuhr's discussion of value and his idea of God. Grant argues that the theory of value Niebuhr develops must be understood in light of the role it plays in his overall theology and, further, that attempts to understand that theory in a purely philosophical light are inevitably unsatisfactory. Included are discussions of Niebuhr's approach to ethics, his view of faith as a human phenomenon, and his understanding of Christian faith as valuation. Book jacket.Grant, C.
