This is the first major study of the Nuer based on primary research since Evans-Pritchard's classic Nuer Religion. It is also the first full-length historical study of indigenous African prophets operating outside the context of the world's main religions, and as such builds on Evans-Pritchard's pioneering work in promoting collaboration and dialogue between the disciplines of anthropology and history. Prophets first emerged as significant figures among the Nuer in the nineteenth century. They fashioned the religious idiom of prophecy from a range of spiritual ideas, and enunciated the social principles which broadened and sustained a moral community across political and ethnic boundaries. Douglas Johnson argues that, contrary to the standard anthropological interpretation, the major prophets' lasting contribution was their vision of peace, not their role in war. This vision is particularly relevant today, and the book concludes with a detailed discussion of events in the Sudan since independence in 1956, describing how modern Nuer, and many other southern Sudanese, still find the message of the nineteenth-century prophets relevant to their experiences in the current civil war.

Society adapts to some norms that shape a respectful and mannered life. This is to encourage the co-existence of different individuals with different traits granting self-fulfillment to each and everyone. However simple it may look to achieve this; the idea of self-preservation overrides all this as individuals breach the ethical conduct. A society where ethics is not practiced and respected may result to crime, loss of lives, grabbing of people's properties and indulging into people's private lives. As a result of disrespecting ethical conduct, the society lives in turmoil. Everyone becomes a hindrance to the other person's struggles. In pursuit of a Just society tries negotiating with societies on how respecting ethical conduct allows a platform where everybody exercises their strengths and achieve their goals with help from the environment they live in. It is a poetry book constituted by individual, topical poetic pieces that try to highlight ethical and unethical scenarios in the society and tries to point out the dos and the don'ts.
