Publisher's Synopsis
Great Men as Prophets of a New Era is a book written by Newell Dwight Hillis that explores the lives and teachings of influential figures throughout history. Hillis argues that these individuals, including Moses, Buddha, and Jesus, were not only great leaders, but also prophetic figures who brought about significant changes in their respective societies. The book examines the impact of these great men on their followers and on the world as a whole, and discusses the lessons that can be learned from their teachings. Hillis also explores the concept of prophethood and how it has evolved over time, and argues that there is still a need for prophetic figures in modern society. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of great men in shaping the course of human history and the potential for future prophets to bring about positive change.1922.
