The Great Method
Miller, Perry | August 6, 1949 issue

The article focuses on the book Faith and History, written by Reinhold Niebuhr. The shock that Niebuhr's first publications, two decades ago, administered to American Protestantism is beginning to wear off. This book is based upon lectures given at Yale in 1945, by a professor. It is Niebuhr's latest statement of his now familiar theme. The recent events have plentifully borne out his prophetic indictment of a culture which believed in redemption through history, so that his tone is, if this be conceivable, even more aggressive.
