The author takes up Niebuhr's theology and presents it to be, at
its heart, an attempt to grapple with the most powerful and most
dangerous aspect of human nature: a quality Niebuhr describes as
'the will-to-power'. Lovatt argues forcibly that Niebuhr identifies
the fundamental nature of human sin as having very specific
qualities; and that Niebuhr, over his various works, develops a
theology which seeks to deal effectively with this quality, both
theologically and practically. Lovatt discusses the main areas of
doctrine covered by Niebuhr, and considers how his position
reflects his underlying agenda to grapple with the reality of the
will-to-power. This leads to some important conclusions about
Niebuhr, modern theology, and the present-day problem of evil.
