Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning

by Thomas Troward

Perhaps the most controversial text ever written, the Bible and its meaning have been argued over since its commitment to paper. With an eye toward keeping the focus on the Bible's great offering-God's promise of everlasting life in His presence-Thomas Troward offers here a concise commentary on major Biblical principles, all the while stressing that faith and accepted scientific conventions are not contradictory but are, in fact, in concert. In doing this, he provides a thorough analytical exploration of major Biblical concepts, such as the fall of man and the role of Satan, and reinforces the roles of compassion and forgiveness as keys to fulfilling man's spiritual potential. Anyone who has found the Bible an intimidating (or worse, confusing) read would benefit greatly from this straightforward and relevant work, first published in 1913. English judge, philosopher, and painter THOMAS TROWARD (1847-1916) lived most of his live in India, in the service of the imperial monarchy. Among his publications, many of which profoundly affected the New Thought movement, are The Law and the Word, The Hidden Power and Other Papers Upon Mental Science, and The Creative Process in the Individual.

About the author

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.

Reviews

[Martin Bassani]

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.

Challenging

It gives a different perspective to reading and interpreting the Bible. Recommended for those interested in the esoteric meaning of the Bible.

Confusing But Interesting

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.

New age teaching

This is a new age teaching about universal mind etc and used the Bible partially to proven author's theory on it.

A very dense, but very inspirational, view of source and human life.

[Graig Yarbrough]

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.
