Confronting the Will-to-Power A reconsideration of the theology of Reinhold Niebuhr
Mark F. W. Lovatt
- U.K. Paternoster Press 2001
- 215tr. Paperback 23 cm
Lovatt takes up Niebuhr's theology and presents it to be, at its heart, an attempt to grapple with the most powerful and dangerous aspect of human nature: a quality Niebuhr describes as 'the will-to-power'. The author argues that Niebuhr identifies the fundamental nature of human sin as having very specific qualities and that Niebuhr, over his various works, develops a theology that seeks to deal effectively with this quality.
