The Nature and Destiny of Man presents a commanding theological and philosophical treatise that argues for the paradoxical condition of humanity as both finite and free. Across two volumes, Niebuhr instructs readers in a Christian interpretation of human nature, detailing the tension between moral aspiration and historical failure. He illustrates how pride and sensuality distort human freedom, positioning sin not merely as transgression but as a structural reality of existence. The work chronicles the development of Western thought from classical philosophy to modern secularism, asserting that Christian realism offers the only adequate framework for understanding human history and ethical responsibility.
