Niebuhr, H Richard

    0.02 sec.

Niebuhr, H(elmut) Richard (1894–1962)

US Protestant theologian. As a professor of theology at Yale (from 1931), he had an enormous influence on generations of students. His writings, which apply the insights of the social sciences to the problems of Christianity, include The Meaning of Revelation (1941) and Radical Monotheism and Western Culture (1960).

Niebuhr was born in Wright City, Missouri, the son of a pastor and brother of Reinhold Niebuhr. He graduated from Elmhurst College, Illinois, in 1912, worked briefly for a newspaper, and held a pastorate in St Louis before beginning a long academic career.
