Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. An Esoteric Study of Scripture, Spiritual Law, New Thought, and Christian Mystical SymbolismBy Thomas TrowardLength9h 8m
About this audiobook
Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning offers an esoteric and metaphysical reading of Scripture, treating the Bible not merely as historical record or devotional text but as a symbolic drama of spiritual law. Troward interprets biblical narratives—especially creation, fall, redemption, and apocalypse—as expressions of universal principles governing consciousness, causation, and human regeneration. Written in lucid, orderly prose, the work belongs to the late Victorian and Edwardian tradition of liberal theology, Hermetic interpretation, and New Thought idealism. Thomas Troward (1847–1916), a British colonial judge in India and later a major influence on the New Thought movement, brought to religious questions a jurist's precision and a metaphysician's speculative ambition. His interest in mental science, the creative power of thought, and the relation between divine law and human agency shaped his biblical interpretation. Rather than rejecting Christianity, he sought to uncover what he believed to be its inner, operative meaning. This book is recommended for readers interested in mystical Christianity, metaphysical theology, and the intellectual roots of New Thought. It will especially reward those willing to approach Scripture as layered symbolism and philosophical instruction rather than as literalist doctrine alone.
