Schweitzer Klassifikation
Newell Dwight Hillis was a prominent Congregationalist minister, writer, and philosopher born in Magnolia, Iowa. He is best known for his tenure as the pastor of the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn, where he played a key role in overseeing the church's significant renovations. Hillis was an influential figure in religious and philosophical circles during his time, using his platform to discuss and write about moral and social issues, particularly concerning human rights and social justice. His works often blended spirituality with a deep interest in the moral and intellectual underpinnings of American society. Hillis was deeply committed to the cause of human dignity and equality, which reflected in both his sermons and writings. He died in Bronxville, New York, at the age of 70. Hillis's daughter, Marjorie Hillis, also gained prominence in her own right as a writer and editor. His legacy remains intertwined with his contributions to both religious thought and the social issues of his time, particularly through his involvement with the abolitionist movement and the promotion of democratic ideals. His influence continues to be felt through his writings and the work he did during his ministry.
