Synopsis
A moving portrait of a renowned scientist and a devoted believer, drawn from a commemorative sermon preached at Harvard College in 1888. This edition presents the life of Asa Gray through the physician-turned-naturalist’s own work, friendships, and enduring influence on science and faith.
The speaker reflects on Gray’s beginnings in a sturdy, studious family, his rise from farmer’s boy to leading botanist, and the guiding conviction that nature reveals both truth and providence. The text explores how Gray balanced rigorous inquiry with a confident Christian faith, and how his methods and character shaped his contributions to botanical science and to the broader conversation about science and religion.
