Spiritual Heroes A Study Of Some Of The Worlds Prophets PDF Download

Excerpt from Spiritual Heroes: A Study of Some of the World's Prophets The following studies of the life and work of some of the foremost prophets of humanity down to the dawn of the modem age are offered to the public with a twofold purpose. The first is to contribute, by however small an offering, to the spread of that inspiring doctrine of man's spiritual royalty, which is declaring itself ever more clearly in the interplay of the complex forces of our contemporary intellectual and moral life; namely, a philosophy which recognizes the primacy of the human will, sound historical criticism, sympathetic study of comparative religion, etc. The second purpose, resulting as a corollary from the first, is to emphasize the glorious truth that righteousness of character, humaneness of heart, responsibility toward duty, and obedience to the call of conviction are the primal eternal virtues whose worth is independent of race, age, or creed, and whose blessing is given to all the world.
