A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning, Thomas Troward draws out the metaphysical and New Thought implications of Bible stories and verses. Their meaning becomes clear rather than a mystery when he examines the allegorical and spiritual meanings of the texts as well as their literal meanings. Starting from the premise that man is made in the image and likeness of God, Troward shows that creation and evolution are the same thing. The world is progressing toward higher consciousness, and more and more people are realizing that we have the power within us. There is one Spirit, and in that one Spirit we live and move and have our being. Thomas Troward was born in the Punjab in 1847. Educated in England, he served for many years served as a judge in the Punjab. On his retirement he returned to England, where he became an active and influential writer on New Thought themes. His Edinburgh lecture series won praise from William James and influenced many others, including Ernest Holmes.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From the Author's Foreward: The favorable reception accorded to my Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science has encouraged me to offer another book to my readers. The present volume is written from the standpoint that we possess latent powers which a better knowledge of the truth regarding ourselves will enable us to develop, and that the purpose of the Bible is to lead us into this knowledge in a perfectly natural manner, while guarding us against the dangers arising from misuse of it. That we should ever arrive at a point when we shall be no longer confronted by the element of mystery which is inherent in the livingness of Life is impossible; but this mystery is the Mystery of Light and not of darkness, and will continually unfold itself into more light in response to our earnest inquiry into its meaning; and I have therefore given this book a title indicative of the ever-presence of an august Mystery together with intelligible Law.
