Talk:Reinhold Niebuhr

Dubious

The Martin Luther King, Jr. section reads, "King attributed his own nonviolent posture more to the influence of Niebuhr and Paul Tillich than to the example of Gandhi"; however, the source is an "April 13, 1970 letter to Niebuhr" (hence not from King) which is not in the source.

I fixed it with better source = Jessica McElrath (2007). The Everything Martin Luther King, Jr. Book: The Struggle, The Tragedy, The Dream. Everything Books. p. 48. Rjensen (talk) 01:38, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Brother of Richard Niebuhr

Could it not be mentioned in the first paragraph of this article that Reinhold Niebuhr was the brother of Richard Niebuhr? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vorbee (talk • contribs) 19:31, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Possible vandalism (regarding the inclusion of Edison)?

The third paragraph lists Thomas Edison as influenced by Niebuhr. I also saw that Thomas Edison had been included in the article as far back as 2015 according to an earlier discussion on the talk page. Vandals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.38.103 (talk) 13:25, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Stances on abortion and euthanasia

I think it will be interesting if someone could provide sources to show what were Reinhold Niebuhr's stances on abortion and euthanasia, given the fact that he is such an influential Christian theologian and that both conservatives and liberals in the United States tend to claim his legacy, in a way or another. I think he might have adressed these issues in some of his books and speeches.Mistico (talk) 02:32, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Erroneous Statement on Serenity Prayer

This article states that the earliest known version of the Serenity Prayer was from 1937. In fact, there are at least a half-dozen documented versions dating back to 1933. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:192:101:8480:4850:A041:1D6A:7AF (talk) 11:48, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
