HENRY DRUMMOND

No class of works is received with more suspicion, I had almost said derision, than those which deal with Science and Religion. Science is tired of reconciliations between two things which never should have been contrasted; Religion is offended by the patronage of an ally which it professes not to need; and the critics have rightly discovered that, in most cases where Science is either pitted against Religion or fused with it, there is some fatal misconception to begin with as to the scope and province of either. But although no initial protest, probably, will save this work from the unhappy reputation of its class, the thoughtful mind will perceive that the fact of its subject-matter being Lawa property peculiar neither to Science nor to Religionat once places it on a somewhat different footing.

In "Natural Law in the Spiritual World" author explores how the world of religion and spirituality relates to the physical world and argues that faith was by no means in conflict with science."Love the Greatest Thing in the World" - In his most famous work, the author meditates upon what he considers the greatest thing in the worldlove.

Is there no reason to believe that many of the Laws of the Spiritual World, hitherto regarded as occupying an entirely separate province, are simply the Laws of the Natural World? Can we identify the Natural Laws, or any one of them, in the Spiritual sphere? In "Natural Law in the Spiritual World" Henry Drummond deals with those questions by exploring the relation of religion and spirituality with the physical world. He argues that the disconnect between the spiritual and the physical was entirely illusory and that faith was by no means in conflict with science.

Drummond was a man raised up by God, and trained by His Providence to preach the everlasting Gospel to students in an age of transition.

This volume contains his most important writings:The Programme Of ChristianityThe City Without A ChurchPax VobiscumStones Rolled AwayEternal LifeThe Changed Life

Professor Drummonds influence on his contemporaries is not to be measured by the sale of his books, great as that has been. It may be doubted whether any living novelist has had so many readers, and perhaps no living writer has been so eagerly followed and so keenly discussed on the Continent and in America. In the long series of addresses he delivered all over the world he brought about what may at least be called a crisis in the lives of innumerable hearers. He received more of the confidences of people untouched by the ordinary work of the Church than any other man of his time. Men and women came to him in their deepest and bitterest perplexities.The addresses which make up this volume were written by Professor Drummond between the years 1876 and 1881.

Though its stand-point is Evolution and its subject Man, this book is far from being designed to prove that Man has relations, compromising or otherwise, with lower animals. Its theme is Ascent, not Descent. It is a History, not an Argument. And Evolution, in the narrow sense in which it is often used when applied to Man, plays little part in the drama outlined here. So far as the general scheme of Evolution is introduced--and in the Introduction and elsewhere this is done at length --the object is the important one of pointing out how its nature has been misconceived, indeed how its greatest factor has been overlooked in almost all contemporary scientific thinking.
