The American branch of neo-orthodoxy is the theological literature ''by'' and ''on'' [[Reinhold Niebuhr]], his brother [[H. Richard Niebuhr]], and his friend whom he helped extract from Nazi Germany [[Paul Tillich]]. In the States from the 1930's through the 1960's the theological work of these three men eclipsed all others.

Reinhold Niebuhr's 1939 complaint against [[Liberal Christianity]]:
{{cquote|Liberal Christianity, in short, tended to follow modern culture in estimating both the stature and the virtue of man. It did not recognize that man is a spirit who can find a home neither in nature nor in reason, but only in [[God]]. <ref> April 26, 1939 ''The Christian Century'', Reinhold Niebuhr, "Ten Years That Shook My World", pages 542-546</ref>}}
