(PUBWestminster/John Knox)Reissue of Niebuhr's crowning work in Christian ethics. Niebuhr sees the heart of morality as a flexible response to others and in that guiding ideal of unlimited concern that goes beyond legalism and formalism. Niebuhr's capacity to summarize abstract principles in an accessible way is still hard to match. 188 pages, softcover.

The Responsible Self was H. Richard Niebuhr's most important work in Christian ethics. In it he probes the most fundamental character of the moral life and it stands today as a landmark contribution to the field.

Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.
