  • Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics is a 1932 book by Reinhold Niebuhr, an American Protestant theologian at Union Theological Seminary (UTS) in New York City. The thesis of the book is that people are more likely to sin as members of groups than as individuals. Niebuhr wrote the book in a single summer. He drew the book's contents from his experiences as a pastor in Detroit, Michigan prior to his professorship at UTS. The book attacks liberalism, both secular and religious, and is particularly critical of John Dewey and the Social Gospel. Moral Man and Immoral Society generated much controversy and raised Niebuhr's public profile significantly. Initial reception of the book by liberal Christian critics was negative, but its reputation soon improved as the rise of fascism throughout the 1930s was seen as having been predicted in the book. Soon after the book's publication, gave a copy to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who read it and was impressed by the book's thesis but disliked the book's critique of pacifism. The book eventually gained significant readership among American Jews because, after a period of considerable anti-theological sentiment among Jews in the United States, many Jews began to return to the study of theology and, having no Jewish works of theology to read, turned to Protestant theological works.

  • 《도덕적 인간과 비도덕적 사회》(Moral Man and Immoral Society)는 1932년에 라인홀드 니부어에 의해 쓰여진 책이다. 이 책의 주제는 단체나 그룹이 개인보다 더 많은 죄를 범한다는 내용이다. 이 책에서 니부어는 자유주의 신학과 진보주의 (교육)를 비판하였는 데 특히, 존 듀이와 사회복음주의를 비판하였다. 니부어는 마르크스주의의 분석법을 사용하여 종교와 이성이 자아에 의해 비정의를 유지할 수 있음을 경고하였다. 또한, 진보 철학의 긍정주의가 인간의 자기중심성의 급진성과 권력을 보증해주지 않는다고 주장하였다. 즉, 권력의 중심이 균형을 이루어져야만, 관용이 있는 정의가 존재 가능하다고 주장하였다.
