Excerpt from New Thought, Its Lights and Shadows: An Appreciation and a CriticismIt is no wonder that we are beginning to hear on every hand the question, What is New Thought But any intelligent answer to the question is seldom heard. In fact, neither the Christian people nor their leaders realize the magnitude of the new movement, or the mo mentum it has gained, or the inroads it will surely make into the Christian Church.Books and papers from the New Thought side are becoming very numerous. This book is an explanation of New Thought by a Christian. It is not for the professional philosopher but rather an elementary exposition for the people. This fact has partly determined the style, the avoid ance of technical terms except when necessarily quoted from New Thought, the arrangement of the materials, and the intentional repetitions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
