Henry Drummond
In this influential work, Drummond explores the parallels between the laws governing the natural world and those of the spiritual realm. He argues that principles like growth, degeneration, and survival apply not only to biology but also to the spiritual life. By integrating scientific concepts with theological insights, Drummond offers a thought-provoking discussion on how spiritual development aligns with the laws of nature.Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish evangelist, writer and lecturer. Natural Law in the Spiritual World argues that the scientific principle of continuity extends from the physical world to the spiritual, providing common ground for discussions between scientists and religious leaders. His later work, The Ascent of Man, argued that altruism, or the disinterested care and compassion of animals for each other, was an important part in effecting the survival of the fittest.
