Natural Law in the Spiritual World
Natural Law in the Spiritual World, published in 1883, made the Scottish evangelist and lecturer in natural science Henry Drummond famous almost overnight. Drummond proposes that the laws governing the natural world do not stop at its border but continue into the spiritual life, so that biology can describe the soul's condition as precisely as the body's. Each chapter applies one principle: biogenesis, the rule that life comes only from life, then degeneration, growth, death, mortification, eternal life, environment, conformity to type, semi-parasitism and parasitism, and classification. The book was widely read and widely attacked, by scientists and theologians alike, for its bold blending of the two fields. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
