Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning is an important and controversial work by author Thomas Troward. In this widely acclaimed publication, Troward discusses and explores major concepts in the Bible and draws connections between these biblical writings and science to attempt to prove his belief that they are not contradictory but in reality are complementary. As one of the earliest writers to explore connections between science and the bible, Troward's Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning is an important work because it has been used widely by scholars both in the fields of biblical studies as well as science for more than a century. This is an excellent publication for those of both fields and also of Troward's other writings in the area of the new thought movement.
Thomas Troward was a judge in British-administered India, where he made a personal study of the teachings of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. After retiring from the bench in 1896, he applied his legalistic mind to matters of philosophy, and began lecturing and publishing on "Mental Science," eventually becoming president of the International New Thought Alliance.
A wonderful new thought work by a masterful logician. I hope to reread this book in the near future. I've already read Edinburgh Lectures; I am now sufficiently intrigued by Troward to next tackle his other works.
This book helped me understand many important points of the Bible, but at the same time, there were parts I got lost, especially at the end when the author writes about Anima Mundi and Anima Dei. I will definitely have to reread those parts. Do I recommend this book? Yes, as long as the subject interests you, otherwise you will not finish it.
Thomist reward understood reality of this universe. He looked at things In a calm, logical Manner, and drew certain conclusions from that. His Creative Process of the Individual Is a perfect companion to this.
