In the wake of the scientific advances of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many attempted to reconcile science and religion. Few were as articulate as Drummond, who argues against the term “supernatural” but instead for the scientific idea of continuity, which he asserts extends to the spiritual realm. To the author, the spiritual is but a higher order of the natural—and therefore Darwin’s theory of evolution can be wholly accepted and extended to affirm that the final step of evolution is the spiritual man.

Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish evangelist, writer, and lecturer. Educated at Edinburgh, he joined a mission and traveled to Australia and Africa. He argued that altruism has its part in Darwin’s “survival of the fittest.” His writings include The Greatest Thing in the World and Other Addresses (1894), The Ascent of Man (1894), and The Monkey That Would Not Kill (1898).
