Abstract
Abstract Reinhold Niebuhr’s influence extended beyond his own prolific writings and his role as a public intellectual through students who were shaped by their encounters with him during his long career as a teacher at Union Theological Seminary. In his classes, he taught many students who went on to careers in ministry and others who became scholars and writers. He was also a powerful influence on everyone at Union through his sermons in the chapel, and many remembered informal gatherings that Reinhold and Ursula Niebuhr hosted in their home. While it is difficult to formulate meaningful generalizations about so many students, two in particular remind us of the scope of Niebuhr’s influence through his teaching: Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) and Kiyoko Takeda (1917–2018).
