Dramatic Interpretation of History

Speaker(s): Reinhold Niebuhr

Description: Dr. Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) was a Protestant theologian best known for his study of the task of relating the Christian faith to the reality of modern politics and diplomacy. He is a crucial contributor to modern Just War thinking. Here, he asks the questions, "What Does Life Mean?" and "What Does History Mean"? The first 1:30 (the introduction) was recorded at a low level. For a few minutes toward the end of the tape there is a repetitive squeaking noise that is on the original recording. The recording ends at 54:08, which is where the tape ran out.

Length: 54:08
Recording Date: 3/4/1958
