In the Ascent of Man Henry Drummond gives his take on Evolution. He sees evolution as divinely guided-a position that made him no friends on either side of the debate. "'The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way.' In these pages an attempt is made to tell 'in a plain way' a few of the things which Science is now seeing with regard to the Ascent of Man. Whether these seeings are there at all is another matter. Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish evangelist, lecturer, and writer associated with the Free Church of Scotland. Educated at the University of Edinburgh and influenced by contemporary scientific developments, he became known for his efforts to reconcile Christian theology with evolutionary theory. His works, including Natural Law in the Spiritual World and The Ascent of Man, reflect the intellectual concerns of the late nineteenth century and contributed to ongoing discussions regarding the relationship between science and religion.
