An Important and Revealing Copy
Niebuhr, Reinhold The Nature and Destiny of Man
$400.00New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1949.  First one volume edition. Signed and inscribed by Niebuhr, adding “I try in this volume to explain that the meaning of life for the individual and the whole of mankind is found in the love as it is revealed in Christ.” An important and revealing copy of this landmark of twentieth-century thought. Exploring the complexities of human nature and the philosophical and theological implications of humanity’s existence, the Nature and Destiny of Man was rated number 18 of the Modern Library’s Top 100 Nonfiction works in the 20th century.  “A collection of theological lectures delivered by Niebuhr in 1939, The Nature and Destiny of Man tackles the Christian concept of human nature, the powerlessness of man, and Christianity’s impact on human history. Delivered just before the outbreak of World War II, these lectures were so influential that Cold War containment policies and aspects of realpolitik can be traced back to them. Highly recommended for fans of ontology.”

SIGNED COPY OF AN INFLUENTIAL BOOK
Thurman, Howard (1900 -1981) JESUS AND THE DISINHERITED.
$750.00Nashville: Abingdon-Cokesbury Press, (1949) First printing. An attempt to answer the question of why Christianity seems impotent to deal radically and effectively with issues of discrimination and injustice based on race, religion and national origin – an issue which Thurman, a minister and civil rights activist,  wrote frequently about. In his preface, he noted that the full development of his ideas were in a series of lectures – the Mary L. Smith Memorial Lectures  which he gave at Samuel Huston College, Austin, Texas in April 1948, and upon which this book is based. In it, he interprets the teachings of Jesus through the experiences of the oppressed and discusses nonviolent responses to this oppression. According to Martin Luther King’s biographer, King studied this book during the Montgomery bus boycott.  INSCRIBED by Thurman on the title page. Scarce in the first edition, especially signed.  112 pp.  Very good in burgundy boards with gilt lettering on the spine (light rubbing to lettering on spine, bookplate).  750.00 Â
