Publisher's Synopsis
Thomas Troward was a leading proponent of the 'New Thought' movement, a forerunner of what is now known as 'New Age' thinking. In this book he attempts to elucidate what he calls the 'Promise' of the Bible: Eternal Life, and of the Word made Real. He dresses up the text with analogies and references to contemporary science and technology, such as the telegraph, radioactivity, and 'flying machines.' This usage will be familiar to anyone who has sat through the recent movie What the Bleep do We Know?, which uses special-effects film vocabulary, quantum physics, and string theory to similar effect.
