Infos

In "The Battle of Principles," Newell Dwight Hillis embarks on a profound exploration of the ideological conflicts that shape human society. Set against a backdrop of emerging modernity in the early 20th century, Hillis employs a compelling and eloquent prose that invites readers to engage critically with the philosophical dichotomies of his time: the clash between materialism and idealism, individualism and collectivism. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, he delves into the moral underpinnings of societal values, urging readers to recognize the deeper principles at stake in their personal and collective lives. Hillis, a prominent minister and social reformer, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the tumultuous socio-political climate of his era, which included the challenges of industrialization and the moral dilemmas it presented. His role as a thought leader in the Progressive Movement inspired him to advocate for a more ethical society, propelling him to pen this reflective treatise. The fusion of his theological insights and progressive ideals creates a rich tapestry that informs his arguments within "The Battle of Principles." This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the foundational principles that guide ethical behavior and societal progress. Hillis's scholarly examination is not just a historical reflection but a call to action for contemporary readers to engage with the principles that shape our world today. In an age marked by division and strife, "The Battle of Principles" encourages us to rise above mere opinion and consider the deeper moral battles that define our humanity.
