Gary Dorrien is the Niebuhr Chair at Union, and nobody alive can walk you through the whole arc of Reinhold Niebuhr with his range — from the German-American pastor's kid at Elmhurst and Eden, to the Yale divinity student who felt like a country boy among thoroughbreds, to the Detroit preacher at Bethel Church writing articles in 1916 begging German Americans to prove their Americanism months before Wilson took the country into war, to the young professor at Union who felt like an imposter for a decade and overcompensated by ridiculing everyone in sight, to the author of Moral Man and Immoral Society (1932), the bomb that ended the social gospel's fifty-year run and rerouted the entire field of American social ethics overnight. This is the second live Q&A for the Theology for Troublemakers class, and Gary, Aaron Stauffer, and I work through student questions covering the whole trajectory: why Niebuhr still towers over the field; what H. Richard's devastating private letter did to his brother's theology; how he metabolized Augustine into Christian realism in the Gifford Lectures that became Nature and Destiny; why Children of Light and Children of Darkness (1944) is the road not taken; and how Niebuhr drifted into establishment Democratic Party machinery with no emotional drama at all — the one transition he made smoothly, and arguably the one that cost the most. Plus the neocons who stole him, William Cavanaugh calling Gary a heretic at AAR in Montreal, Ron Stone tearing up when he says "saint," and the legendary Claremont nickname Five-Beer Barthian. Gary and Aaron are both coming to Theology Beer Camp in Kansas City in October. The class lives at homebrewedclasses.com. JOIN THE CLASS - Theology for Troublemakers: Christian Social Ethics from the Margins This 6-week online course, led by Dr. Gary Dorrien and Dr. Aaron Stauffer, recovers the radical tradition of Christian social ethics — from Reverdy Ransom and Reinhold Niebuhr to James Cone and the Welfare Rights Movement — and asks what faithfulness demands of us right now. Weekly lectures, live Q&A conversations, guest lecturers, and an online community included.

Former US president Jimmy Carter died in his home state of Georgia at the age of 100 on Sunday. Allan Lichtman, distinguished professor of history at American University in Washington DC knew Jimmy Carter and tells VOA's Carol Van Dam that unlike other politicians, he will be remembered as a man who followed his moral compass.
Nicodemus was a highly intelligent, cultured, and moral individual. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie breaks down his conversation with Jesus. It's not one between rabbi and carpenter, but between God and man. Notes:Focus verse: John 2:23–3:16 We all want our lives to matter. Nicodemus was a highly intelligent, cultured, and moral individual. This is not a conversation between a rabbi and a carpenter.It is a conversation between God and man. Read John 2:23–25 Read John 3:3–10 Jesus saw in Nicodemus a man who was hungry for truth. Everyone is empty, lonely, and afraid to die. The true mark of spiritual growth and maturity is not feeling superior but humble. Nicodemus was the spiritual leader in Israel. Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Better to have a weak beginning and a strong finish than the opposite. In the end, Nicodemus turned out to be one of the bravest followers of Christ. John 19:39 The great Nicodemus approached Jesus with great respect. Being born again is a supernatural act of God making a person spiritually alivewhen they were dead in sin. John 3:16–17 God loves you.John 3:16 God proved His love by sending His Son. God's love is unconditional and universal. God's gift of salvation is available for everyone who believes. To believe is to adhere to, to commit to, to have faith in, to rely upon, to trust in. Read John 3:19–21 If you are included in the whosoever of John 3:16, then you won't be included in the whosoever of Revelation 20:15. Jesus will receive and reveal Himself to any person who will come to Him honestly. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

The Guilt of the Moral Man Exposed, Romans 2:1-16
The Guilt of the Moral Man Explained--Romans 2:1-16
After three and a half years of dropping not-so-subtle hints, Dad finally persuaded me to read Reinhold Niebuhr's The Nature and Destiny of Man... though in this episode we cover only vol. 1, the "Nature" part. (Stick around with us in Season 5 and you might just get vol. 2!) In this episode we examine Niebuhr's sweeping summation of Western intellectual history and whether it holds up to scrutiny, how the divorce of Renaissance and Reformation gave us all the intractable problems of modernity, the difference between universal sin and unequal guilt, and zero in on the one place where Niebuhr talks more about God than man. Notes: 1. Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature and Destiny of Man; see also his Moral Man and Immoral Society 2. James, Varieties of Religious Experience 3.

All human beings are accountable to God, whether by our consciences or our direct knowledge of the Scriptures. And Jesus himself is the impartial Judge that we will meet on the last day.

Fr. Stephen continues with the topic of the battle between the true self and the false self, looking this week at what it means to be "moral."
In Romans 2:1-16, Paul brings the second defendant before God's court. To our surprise, he looks pretty good; like a next door neighbor or even the person sitting next to us in church. But how does God see him? When God looks below the surface, what does he see? We consider the argument for the prosecution and the defense in the case against the Moral Man in this message entitled: Who Needs the Gospel? Case Study #2.
We explore the ideas and present-day relevance of 20th century theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, an influential, boundary-crossing voice in American public life. Niebuhr created the term “Christian realism:” a middle path between religious idealism and arrogance. Exploring his wide appeal, three distinctive voices describe Niebuhr’s legacy and ask what insights he brings to the political and religious dynamics of the early 21st century.
