About this ebook
The Nature and Destiny of Man issues a vigorous challenge to Western civilization to understand its roots in the faith of the Bible, particularly the Hebraic tradition. The growth, corruption, and purification of the important Western emphases on individuality are insightfully chronicled here. This book is arguably Reinhold Niebuhr's most important work. It offers a sustained articulation of Niebuhr's theological ethics and is considered a landmark in twentieth-century thought.
The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.

I just bought the online copy for $19.99, which I now regret. This online product comprises only of Volume One. On Amazon, the actual book that has both volumes is 29.99$. The sellers should have scanned both volumes of this work of Reinhold Niehbur or else it is not complete. What's worse is Volume II is not even available for a separate online copy purchase.
