Humanity and Its Faith: The Apprehension of Total Reality
Kenneth Hamilton
In this chapter, Hamilton identifies the manner in which religious faith for Niebuhr answers a specific question that arises out of Niebuhr’s overall concern with the nature of humanity. Humans, to Niebuhr, are essentially spiritual beings and this is evident in the dogged existence of a reality which is, according to Niebuhr, truly apprehensible to the spiritual dimension of humankind. This reality then becomes the foundational principle to which all other principles, including the biblical kerygma, must conform.
