Autorenporträt
Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a distinguished Scottish evangelist, biologist, and writer, remembered particularly for his work in the realms of science and religion. Born on August 17, 1851, in Stirling, Drummond was an early proponent of reconciling Darwinian evolution with Christian doctrine. He matriculated from the University of Edinburgh and thereafter held the post of lecturer at the Free Church College. Drummond's literary prowess is encapsulated in his enduring work, 'The Greatest Thing in the World and Other Essays' (1880), which offers an insightful exegesis of the Christian doctrine of love as detailed in 1 Corinthians 13. In this collection, the titular essay stands out for its eloquent and persuasive interpretation of love as the supreme virtue, a message that has continued to resonate with readers over the centuries. His other noteworthy literary works include 'Natural Law in the Spiritual World' (1883) and 'The Ascent of Man' (1894), which reflect his dedication to a theological understanding informed by scientific insights. Drummond's literary style is characterized by a clarity of thought, earnestness of tone, and an inclusive approach that appeals to both the scientifically minded and the theologically inclined reader, evidencing his passion for reconciling faith with the emerging scientific worldview of his day.
