| One of the giants in Christian social ethics in the twentieth century, the late James Luther Adams was instrumental in introducing Paul Tillich and Ernst Troeltsch in America. In this memoir, Adams, who was an outstanding professor at both Harvard University and the University of Chicago, provides fascinating accounts of his rich interchanges with many outstanding theological, educational, political and cultural leaders of his time, such as Irving Babbitt, Rudolf Otto, T. S. Eliot, Paul Tillich, Albert Schweitzer and Pope John XXIII. His accounts of his first-hand experiences of the impact of Nazism on German churches and universities in the 1930s is most revealing. |
