Abstract
On first looking into Richard Fox's Reinhold Niebuhr: A Biography (New York: Pantheon Books, 1985), I had the sense of stepping into a landscape at once strange and familiar. Three decades ago I was a beginning theology student at Manhattan's Union Seminary as Niebuhr brought to a close his active teaching career. He was my first professor of Christian ethics and had been a factor in my decision to attend Union. I had already entered his world, having studied at his Alma Mater, Elmhurst College, where his name and fame were commonplace. I was an outsider to a Germanic world at Elmhurst, which delighted in the reflected glory brought to the school by Reinhold and his equally famous theologian-ethicist brother H. Richard Niebuhr.
