Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning

by Thomas Troward

"The Bible is the Book of Emancipation of Man. The emancipation of man means his delivery from sorrow and sickness, from poverty, struggle and uncertainty, from ignorance and limitation, and finally from death itself. This may appear to be what the colloquialism of the day would call "a tall order", but nevertheless it is impossible to read the Bible with a mind unwarped by antecedent conceptions derived from traditional interpretation without seeing that this is exactly what it promises, and that it professes to contain the secret whereby this happy condition of perfect liberty may be attained." So begins "Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning" by Thomas Troward, a classic in religious exposition and biblical study.

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.

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.

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.
