by Ralph Waldo Trine (Author)
Before "New Age" there was "New Thought," a philosophy that sought God through metaphysics and was wildly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. American mystic and bestselling author RALPH WALDO TRINE (1866-1958) was one of the most influential writers on New Thought principles, and here, in this 1913 work, he calls for a return to true spirituality in what we today call "religion." Trine discusses: . how Jesus' reliance on his own intuition-not the teachings of authority-was his great strength . how his simplicity fortified his moral power . how the Church's later emphasis on ritual over spirituality subverted its own mission . how to reclaim the message of Jesus for the modern world . and more. Trine's approach, humanistic and liberal, will speak eloquently to anyone disgruntled with organized religion but still seeking spiritual solace.
