Publisher's Synopsis
In 1883, Henry Drummond, a Scottish scientist-evalgelist, presented a powerful essay on 1st Corinthians 13, Paul's chapter on charity, the pure love of Christ. The "Restored Gospel Version" brings the added perspective of modern-day revelation to a timeless classic. Drummond's message of charity is as vital and important today as when he first delivered it: "The words which all of us shall one day hear sound not of theology, but of life, not of churches and saints but of the hungry and the poor, not of creeds and doctrines, but of shelter and clothing, not of Bibles and prayerbooks but of cups of cold water offered in the name of Christ." The essay contains three parts: The Contrast; The Analysis; and The Defense. Drummond's simple yet profound message is short but it is a message that can and should alter your life. The Reverend Dwight Moody said that he had "never heard anything so beautiful." The Greatest Thing in the World is a book that belongs in everyone's library.
