Review Essay of Niebuhr's "The Responsible Self"
Abstract
As we reflect on responsiblity and accountability in supervision and formation, H. Richard Niebuhr's The Responsible Self merits fresh consideration. Originally published posthumously in 1963, this book is taken from the Robertson Lectures delivered by Niebuhr at the University of Glasgow in 1960 and the Earl Lectures delivered by him at the Pacific School of Religion and at Riverside Church in 1962. Nearly half a century later, this book seems to anticipate directions that education for ministry has subsequently taken, and it continues to provide a framework for understanding these educational developments.Downloads
