Henry Scott Holland war ein einflussreicher Theologe und anglikanischer Priester, dessen frühe akademische Laufbahn von Schwierigkeiten geprägt war, bis er von philosophischen Ideen beeinflusst wurde. Tief betroffen von den sozialen Problemen, die er in den Londoner Slums erlebte, war er von der Notwendigkeit grundlegender Veränderungen innerhalb der Kirche überzeugt. Holland setzte sich für einen pragmatischeren Ansatz des Christentums ein, der sich auf gelebte Erfahrung und soziale Gerechtigkeit statt auf bloße Kontemplation konzentrierte. Seine Arbeit betonte die Notwendigkeit, soziale Strukturen zu reformieren und Arbeit und Kapital auf eine gerechtere Grundlage zu stellen, und betonte, dass die Pflicht gegenüber Gott und die Pflicht gegenüber der Menschheit untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind.
Henry Scott Holland hat einen der schönsten Texte über den Tod geschrieben. Er spendet Trost und macht Mut, in der Trauer über den Verlust das Leben nicht zu vergessen. Eine zeitlose Botschaft der Hoffnung und immer währenden Liebe für alle, die einen nahe stehenden Menschen verloren haben.
