Abstract	:	This article investigates the reason for Reinhold Niebuhr’s rise to prominence as a public intellectual; it considers first the nature of Niebuhr’s success before then arguing that the rhetorical style of his sermons and lectures, the polemical style of his journalism and his political activism were major factors in his rise. What is suggested in the article is that Niebuhr constructed himself as a political figure and that this was crucial in his rise to prominence.
