The Law and the Word

The "Law" is the laws that govern thought and the forces of nature, the phenomena that we perceive, things that are not flexible. The "Word" is the divine power that creates. In 1917's The Law and the Word, philosopher Thomas Troward reconciles these two concepts in the shadow of the Biblical promise of eternal life for the truly faithful. With a logical, often scientific, always benevolent style, Troward lays out a method for the practical application of spiritual metaphysics. Published a year after the author's death, this work represents the culmination of all his esoteric studies and succeeds in bringing together the spirit and the mind, eventually becoming one of the earliest and best-known foundation stones of modern New Age thought. English judge, philosopher, and painter.
