A Critique of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Social Thought

by Tex Sample ...

This book criticizes three basic concepts in Reinhold Niebuhr's social thought: his views of human nature, interest, and power.

When it comes to communicating the gospel through new media and technologies, churches are often faced with one of two bad options. Either they can reject these new vehicles for sharing the faith as “not the way we’ve always done it”; or they can uncritically embrace them, failing to see that when not understood properly these media can obscure the gospel message just as much as they can ...
