As well as an evangelist and missionary, Henry Drummond was a naturalist. He studied
physical and mathematical science before dedicating himself fully to Christian ministry.
From 1883 to 1184, he served as a missionary in central Africa. With such broad
experience and such an expansive background, Drummond had the opportunity to address
some of the most important topics in Christianity directly: the relationship between faith
and science, as well as missionary life and work. His Papers, many of them
delivered at universities and theological societies, handle these topics in particular. Titles
include “The Survival of the Fittest,” “The Problem of Foreign Missions,” and “The
Contribution of Science to Christianity.”
