THE PROGRAM OF CHRISTIANITY IBD

Sinopse

Henry Drummond was a Scottish evangelist, writer Professor of the natural sciences and lecturer. His ability to analyze a subject and then communicate his findings allowed him to reach people and help them discover new avenues to grow their faith. In The Program of Christianity Henry Drummond describes how Christianity and society should interact.'...there must come to every Christian whose growth is true some richer sense of the meaning of Christianity and a larger view of Christ?s purpose for mankind. To miss this is to miss the whole splendor and glory of Christ?s religion. Next to losing the sense of a personal Christ, the worst evil that can befall a Christian is to have no sense of anything else. To grow up in complacent belief that God has no business in this great groaning world of human beings except to attend to a few saved souls is the negation of all religion. The first great epoch in a Christian?s life, after the awe and wonder of its dawn, is when there breaks into his mind some sense that Christ has a purpose for mankind, a purpose beyond him and his needs, beyond the churches and their creeds, beyond Heaven and its saints-a purpose which embraces every man and woman born, every kindred and nation formed, which regards not their spiritual good alone but their welfare in every part, their progress, their health, their work, their wages, their happiness in this present world.'
