"Justice and Mercy" is a sampling from the many worship services Reinhold Niebuhr conducted in his lifetime progression from pastor to professor to elder statesman. Preaching was his mainstay. In Niebuhr's sermons, themes from the psalms and the gospels are woven into the context of historical and contemporary thought. Technology, politics, international and domestic issues, nuclear weapons -- to cite a few of Niebuhr's concerns in these pages -- are all seen in this solid perspective of faith. There are morning and opening prayers, prayers of praise and thanksgiving, and prayers for the nation and for the community of faith. The sermons and prayers in "Justice and Mercy" offer an important dimension in the life of Reinhold Niebuhr. For those who may have heard his message and long to have it before them, but also for those who know him only for his scholarly contributions, this volume is a storehouse of spiritual vitality. -- From publisher's description.
