Bible Mystery & Bible Meaning (ePub)

Thomas Troward (1847-1916) was an influential figure in the New Thought movement, a spiritual and philosophical movement rooted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Punjab, India, and educated in England, he served as a Divisional Judge in British-administered India for 25 years. After retiring, Troward devoted his life to the study and interpretation of metaphysical and spiritual principles. His work combines the wisdom of Eastern philosophy with Western esoteric traditions, seeking to reconcile the two in a practical and accessible manner. 'Bible Mystery & Bible Meaning' is one of Troward's seminal works where he explores the spiritual lessons and allegories behind biblical stories, presenting the Bible as a source of universal truths rather than a mere religious text (Troward, 1913). Troward's literary style is analytical and didactic, aiming to provoke thought and offer illumination on the hidden wisdom within ancient scriptures. His influence extended to key New Thought authors such as William Walker Atkinson and Ernest Holmes, shaping the contours of modern mystical and self-help movements. Troward's contribution lies not just in his writings but also in the foundation he laid out for the development of theories concerning the power of the mind and the potential of human consciousness.
