About this book
Henry Drummond brings Christian teaching about immortality into conversation with Herbert Spencer's account of life and environment. Eternal Life begins by asking whether the conditions imagined by biology for unending existence correspond to the life promised in Christian faith. To explain the comparison, Drummond moves through examples from amoebas, insects, birds and human beings, considering how living things respond to their surroundings and what happens when those adjustments fail.
The argument then turns from physical adaptation to spiritual relationship. Drummond presents knowledge of God through Christ as a form of correspondence with an enduring divine environment, using biblical passages to support his case. His essay will interest readers of Christian thought and the history of attempts to connect religious belief with scientific language. Its central concern is how eternal life can be understood as a present spiritual relation as well as a hope beyond death.
