The author's analysis of the theoretical confrontations of Niebuhr and Hromadka, which started at the World Council of Churches in 1948 and ended symbolically with the ruin of the Soviet Union in 1989 after their deaths, in the context of the world history makes the work quite an interesting history of Christianity of the twentieth century. Moreover, his method to illuminate their theological achievements against the background of Troeltsch's as well as Barth's influence upon them offers us an excellent survey of contemporary Christian theology. (Dr. Yasuo Furuya, former Professor at the International Christian University in Tokyo)
