"There is no other book that centers on a critical comparison of Niebuhr and Dewey. I have found Rice's book informative because of his use of unpublished sources—archives, oral histories, and interviews. He combines this research with original analytical insights. While the book focuses on two individuals, it illuminates a whole era of American social and intellectual history—an era that still influences us today." — Roger L.
