TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Reinhold Niebuhr’s Post-Providential Theology of History


Friday 21 June 2024 is the 132nd anniversary of the birth of Reinhold Niebuhr (21 June 1892 – 01 June 1971), who was born in Wright City, Missouri, on this date in 1892.


Niebuhr formulated a theology of history that avoided the traditional claims of providential philosophies of history, and so makes his thought strikingly different from past Christian philosophies of history familiar form the work of Augustine and Bossuet.
