"The phrases, "The Ascent of Man" and "The Descent of Man" are familiar to all readers of the literature of modern science. One of the most eminent of American writers on science and philosophy too soon taken from his work, if any act of Providence is ever too soon, has made a clear distinction between evolution as applied to the body and as applied to the spirit. In lucid and luminous pages he has taught us that evolution, as a physical process, having culminated in man can go no further along those lines; that henceforward "the Cosmic force" will be expended in the perfection of the spirit, and that that process will require eternity to complete."…mehr

Autorenporträt
Amory H. Bradford (1846-1911) was a distinguished American clergyman and author known for his contributions to religious literature and for his role as a pastor in the Protestant church. His work 'The Ascent of the Soul' is considered a classic in Christian spiritual literature, reflecting his profound understanding of the spiritual journey and the development of the soul within the Christian faith. In this book, Bradford explores the theme of spiritual growth and the quest for a deeper connection with the divine, drawing upon his theological background and pastoral experience to offer insights into the nature of spiritual progress and enlightenment. His literary style is distinguished by its clarity, thoughtfulness, and accessibility, making profound theological concepts approachable to a broader audience. Bradford's influence extends beyond his writing, as he served as a pastor at the First Congregational Church in Montclair, New Jersey, where he delivered sermons that touched upon the social and spiritual issues of his time. Scholars and theologians still refer to Bradford's work today for its timeless relevance and the light it sheds on the human soul's aspiration for higher spiritual attainment.
