Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971) was an inner-city pastor, ethics professor, and author of the famous Serenity Prayer. Time magazine's 25th anniversary issue in March 1948 featured Niebuhr on its cover, and Time later eulogized him as "the greatest Protestant theologian in America since Jonathan Edwards." Cited as an influence by public figures ranging from Billy Graham to Barack Obama, Niebuhr was described by historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. as "the most influential American theologian of the twentieth century." In this companion volume to the forthcoming documentary film by Martin Doblmeier on the life and influence of Reinhold Niebuhr, Jeremy Sabella draws on an unprecedented set of exclusive interviews to explore how Niebuhr continues to compel minds and stir consciences in the twenty-first century. Interviews with leading voices such as Jimmy Carter, David Brooks, Cornel West, and Stanley Hauerwas as well as with people who knew Niebuhr personally, including his daughter Elisabeth, provide a rich trove of original material to help readers understand Niebuhr's enduring impact on American life and thought.

This book is about how we feel, how we understand, how we relate, and what we can do to improve ourselves. While all of us have a conscience, our consciences are not all-knowing nor always correct. However, our consciences help us sort out our values and philosophy, ethics and virtue, rights and responsibilities, and politics and relationships. Sentiments of an American Conscience: Showing society through many perspectives by Chris Arney provides ideas and reminders of the important elements of life in the forms of passages, snippets, quotes, and reflections. The book's topics range from liberty, equality, fairness, freedom, and democracy to technology, science, and mathematics and many subjects in between. Our world is in transition from its past focus on industrialization to a new emphasis on information. The central premise of the book is that as a nation in transition the US has become less capable in some ways and more competitive and greedy. Because of that, we need reminders on how we think and act to regain our competence and confidence with sufficient virtue and morality to take care of US citizens and to garner the cooperation and support from other countries in the world. The book's version of conscience considers formal institutions such as the military and education systems in the US along with American fascinations such as football, sports, religion, and politics. The reader will find an assortment of notions that at times confronts and embraces modern issues such as complexity, flatness, artificial intelligence, robots, networks, international relations, decision-making, and problem-solving. The book's conscience also reminds the reader of foundational issues and values embedded in the humanism of US democracy like freedom, liberty, equality, altruism, morality, diversity, tolerance, and other basic principles within American culture and society. As is the case with consciences, some ideas are farfetched, and others are more mundane and obvious. The sentiments and opinions are presented to make us think and reflect on ourselves and our country. Given the author's experiences in the military and teaching at the United States Military Academy, these topics are ones that capture the sentiments of the conscience and are used as examples of American culture, government, and organization. The author's perspectives as a mathematician and interdisciplinary scientist also affect the presentation, which is sometimes empirical and sometimes emotional. The author sees American democracy in need of modernization and human society in need of more cooperation and toleration As a former teacher of cadets who have opportunities to change and hopefully improve the world, Chris Arney is both idealistic and optimistic about the future trajectory of the United States and the world. Chris sees himself as a member of the once hopeful and now disappointing Woodstock Generation. He and the conscience reflect on the lost opportunities of his Baby Boomer generation and put their faith in the Millennials for the revitalization of the Woodstock spirit. The one American pastime that is a prime target of the conscience's wrath is big-time college football. The conscience warns of football's dangers and reveals the misguided emphasis of American education institutions on football's role in the educational demise of American students.

In her own lifetime, Eleanor Roosevelt became an American heroine. She overcame a shy and timid girlhood, a domineering mother and mother-in-law, and the enmity of her critics to become a symbol and an institution. She was coaxer and companion to a great President. She revolutionized the role of the First Lady and thereby elevated the American woman to a new level of public consciousness. Eleanor Roosevelt lived many lives in one lifetime. In whatever area she was active, her touch was unique. She could have chosen to be only a teacher, or a wife, or a First Lady, or a writer, or a public speaker, or a social reformer, or her country's representative at the United Nations. Instead, she functioned effectively in all these roles because of a deep commitment to democracy and social justice, and a special style. Because of this style, and her position, Mrs. Roosevelt constantly suffered criticism from those she annoyed. Her image was intricate and contradictory -- a politician or a politician's wife; a saint or a busybody; the embodiment of American ideals or a radical threat to the American way of life. But even those who hated her were impressed by her personal warmth which carried so effectively to the people she moved among. In this book, Tamara Hareven tells Mrs. Roosevelt's story in fascinating detail, with particular attention to her impact upon American society. Miss Hareven goes behind the scenes to analyze Mrs. Roosevelt's influcence on government, the real meaning of her public ideas, and her personal loneliness. This is an engaging portrait of a great woman, driven by a perpetual sense of duty, who conquered herself that she might help others to conquer.
