Book Review

The Constant Dialogue: Reinhold Niebuhr and American Intellectual Culture. By Martin Halliwell. (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2005. x, 369 pp. Cloth, $80.00, ISBN 0-7425-0841-2. Paper, $27.95, ISBN 0-7425-0842-0.)

This is a marvelous book, generous in information, reflection, and the very dialogue that the author believes Reinhold Niebuhr so honored and practiced. In taking us to the thoughts of Niebuhr, Martin Halliwell is hardly exploring an unknown or neglected public intellectual of the 1930s through the 1960s. Moreover, Halliwell's thesis, that Niebuhr was truly committed to intellectual dialogue in theory and practice, is not very startling or new either. And so one might expect yet another walk on familiar ground. But it is the rich content of Halliwell's The Constant Dialogue that makes this book so successful and so rewarding.
