Summary

In "Mystery and True Meaning of the Bible," Thomas Troward offers a pioneering exploration into the spiritual significance embedded within biblical texts. Through a blend of metaphysical inquiry and allegorical interpretation, Troward unearths the deeper meanings behind scriptural narratives, presenting a synthesis of Christian thought intertwined with ancient wisdom. His literary style is characterized by clarity and insightful reasoning, appealing to both the intellectual and spiritual seeker. This work emerges from the rich context of early 20th-century New Thought philosophy, which sought to harmonize religion and science, reinforcing the necessity for individual understanding of divine principles. Thomas Troward, a British judge and influential figure in the New Thought movement, drew extensively from his extensive studies in Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. His experiences in India and his fascination with mysticism greatly influenced his beliefs, ultimately leading him to write this book as a means to reconcile spiritual truths with rational thought. Troward's unique perspective allows readers to consider the Bible not merely as a historical document but as a living narrative that reveals universal truths relevant to the human experience. This book is recommended for those interested in deepening their understanding of biblical philosophy beyond traditional interpretations. Troward's insights provoke thoughtful reflection and transform the way one approaches scripture, making it a valuable addition to the library of both theologians and curious readers alike.

    God has provided salvation, but when does it begin? What is required of us? Can we lose it? These and other disputed questions have divided Christians for centuries. Matthew W. Bates has already shown that the gospel is about King Jesus and that faith includes allegiance. In Beyond the Salvation Wars, he unpacks additional truths from the Bible and the early church to describe how salvation happens. 
 
 
 
Bates offers a new model, encouraging Protestants and Catholics toward long-term unity. But his proposal contains strong medicine: it doesn't sugarcoat current Protestant and Catholic errors but diagnoses with precision for the future health of the church. 
 
 
 
By using accessible writing and stories, Bates shows what Scripture teaches about baptism, election, regeneration, assurance, and justification. A companion to his previous book, Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ, this book will appeal to those who want to discover core truths about how we are saved—for their personal journey as well as for final Christian unity.

    "Happy birthday dear Mom- Grammy, Tora, Auntie, Happy birthday to you!” The people that fill my screen – each in their own little box – sing and smile once more before disappearing, one by one. Blowing them kisses I say, “Thank you all. I love you!” As I reflect on this sixty-fifth birthday of mine, filled with the forced distances of our pandemic era, the phone rings, jarring me back into the moment. 
 “Hello Billy,” I say.                                                                     
 “Hey, Tor.” My cousin’s tone is serious. His words clipped. 
“What’s going on? Everyone okay?” I ask. 
“Yes, we’re fine but… well, I was just driving by your Uncle Einar’s place… I hate to tell you this, Tora, but somebody broke in. The sheriff is coming out in the morning. It’s quite a mess in there. Looks like every drawer and cupboard was emptied out.” 
Uncle Einar’s home stands empty much of the year, and is the original family homestead my grandparents built in Solbakken, Minnesota, in the early 1900’s after immigrating from Norway. 
“What? Are you kidding? Who would do that?” I spout. “You need me to come up there?” 
 A house. A mess. A mystery. Amongst the scattered papers and photographs, intriguing questions lay unanswered in the Anderson family lineage, hidden for decades. When a stash of ancient coins is found, and a gifted stranger moves in next door, windows are opened to incredible possibilities that transcend imagination and transport Tora throughout her family’s generations.
