Autor

Newell Dwight Hillis (1858-1929) was an esteemed American clergyman and author, who is recognized for his engaging sermons and literary contributions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Magnolia, Iowa, Hillis pursued his education at Lake Forest University and McCormick Theological Seminary in Illinois. He assumed the prestigious pulpit of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, following in the footsteps of Henry Ward Beecher, a testament to his oratory skills and theological insight. Hillis's erudite compositions often reflected his interest in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and social issues. In his thought-provoking book 'Great Men as Prophets of a New Era' (1911), Hillis embarks on an exploration of the lessons imbued in the lives of influential historical figures, examining their roles as harbingers of cultural and moral progress. His literary style is characterized by an eloquent and persuasive voice that sought to instill hope and moral virtue in the context of the social changes of his time. Hillis's body of work remains a testament to his dedication to intellectual discourse and the enduring impact of moral leadership.
