About the author
Born in Stirling, Scotland, in 1851, Henry Drummond studied at the University of Edinburgh and later became connected with the Free Church of Scotland. He was both a religious speaker and a lecturer in natural science, an unusual combination that shaped much of his writing.
Drummond gained a large audience through speaking, teaching, and books that aimed to explain spiritual life in plain, modern language. He was also associated with the evangelist Dwight L. Moody, and his book Natural Law in the Spiritual World drew attention for its attempt to relate scientific ideas to Christian belief.
Many readers remember him best for The Greatest Thing in the World, a short, enduring reflection on love based on 1 Corinthians 13. He died in 1897, but his work remains notable for its accessible style, its moral earnestness, and its effort to speak to both the mind and the heart.
