Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man" is a collection of lectures delivered by Henry Drummond, a Scottish scientist, evangelist, and writer, in 1893. These lectures explore the philosophical and scientific aspects of human evolution and the spiritual implications thereof. Drummond was deeply interested in the intersection of science and religion, and his lectures reflect this interdisciplinary approach. In "Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man," he seeks to reconcile the theories of evolution with Christian beliefs, offering a perspective that integrates scientific inquiry with spiritual understanding. The book is divided into several lectures, each addressing different facets of human evolution and its implications. Drummond examines the physical, mental, and moral aspects of human development, tracing the progression of life forms from simpler organisms to complex beings such as humans. He explores the role of natural selection, adaptation, and survival instincts in shaping the course of evolution. At the same time, Drummond emphasizes the spiritual dimensions of human existence. He argues that evolution is not solely a materialistic process but also involves the development of higher moral and ethical faculties. Drummond suggests that humanity's capacity for love, compassion, and altruism represents a transcendent aspect of evolution that points to a divine purpose behind the universe. Throughout the lectures, Drummond draws on scientific evidence, literary references, and biblical passages to support his arguments. He engages with contemporary thinkers and theologians, offering a thoughtful and nuanced perspective on the relationship between science and religion. "Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man" is considered one of Drummond's most significant works, demonstrating his intellectual breadth and his commitment to bridging the gap between faith and reason. It continues to be studied and discussed for its insights into the complex interplay of evolutionary theory and religious belief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lowell Lectures on the Ascent of Man "The more I think of it," says Ruskin," I find this conclusion more impressed upon me - that 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. But, even if visions, every thinking mind, through whatever medium, should look at them. What Science has to say about himself is of transcendent interest to Man, and the practical bearings of this theme are coming to he more vital than any on the field of knowledge. The thread which binds the facts is, it is true, but a hypothesis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One seldom-raised yet not merely curious question of Evolution is, why the process should be an evolution at all? If Evolution is simply a method of Creation, why was this very extraordinary method chosen? Creation tout d'un coup might have produced the same result; an instantaneous act or an age-long process would both have given us the world as it is? The answer of modern natural theology has been that the evolutionary method is the infinitely nobler scheme. A spectacular act, it is said, savours of the magician. As a mere exhibition of power it appeals to the lower nature; but a process of growth suggests to the reason the work of an intelligent Mind. No doubt this intellectual gain is real.

Book excerpt: The Lowell Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1836, supports an annual series of distinguished lectures. Henry Drummond, the influential Scottish scientist, Free Church minister, explorer and evangelist published his Lowell Lectures as The Ascent of Man in 1894. This provocative book examines Darwinism in a Christian context. It describes the rise of man, who is considered the highest purpose of the universe, and his relations with the lower animals. In particular, it addresses the question of altruism and its role in promoting the survival of the fittest, which Drummond argues had been overlooked. Drummond claims, unlike traditional evolutionary theory, that the force of evolution is not only the struggle for life, but also the struggle for the life of others. His book, which aroused great interest in its time, remains of importance for historians and philosophers of science today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salem Goldworth Bland (1859-1950) was among the most significant religious leaders in Canadian history. A Methodist and, later, United Church minister, Bland's long career and widespread influence made him a leading figure in the popularizing of liberal theology, social reform, and the Social Gospel movement. He was also a man who struggled with the polarities of evangelical faith and worldly culture, and who sought a unifying world-view in the mentoring of Sir J. William Dawson in the sciences, George Monro Grant in public affairs, and John Watson in philosophy. The View from the Murney Tower is a two-volume biography of Salem Bland by Richard Allen, author of The Social Passion: Religion and Reform in Canada, 1914-28. This first volume begins with Bland's upbringing in the home of an educated industrialist turned preacher. It goes on to explore his emergence as a liberating mind and eloquent speaker prepared to support new currents of scientific and social thought, as well as to discuss their implications for Christian faith and life. Allen concludes this first volume with Bland's departure from central Canada for the west in 1903, by which time he had become a somewhat controversial figure amongst conservative evangelicals throughout the country. More than just biography, however, The View from the Murney Tower is also an examination of progressive religion in late-Victorian Canada, a time in which Darwinism and other Biblical, social, and intellectual controversies were profoundly affecting the growth of a young nation.
