Henry Drummond

Henry Drummond (1851–1897) war ein schottischer Naturwissenschaftler, Hochschullehrer am Free Church College in Glasgow und evangelikaler Evangelist. Bekannt wurde er durch seine Auslegung von 1. Korinther 13 in der Schrift „Das Größte der Welt“ sowie durch seine Versuche, christlichen Glauben und zeitgenössische Naturwissenschaft zu verbinden, was ihm in konservativen Kirchenkreisen theologische Kritik einbrachte. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem als prägnanter Ausleger der christlichen Nächstenliebe.
