Thomas Troward (1847-1916) is an author whose works influenced the New Thought Movement, Mind Sciences, and mystic Christianity. Influences on his writings include the teachings of Christ, Islamic and Hindu Teachings, and Buddhism.[1]

Troward was the author of several books including the Edinburgh Lectures 1904.[2]

Troward has been credited as a major influence on New Thought, Religious Science, Science of Mind and founderErnest Holmes, and even in the History of Alcoholics Anonymous literature.[citation needed] In the beginning of the global best seller The Secret, the introduction remarks credit Troward's philosophy with inspiring the movie and it's production. [3]

The philosopher William James characterized Troward’s Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science as "far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met, beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a really classic statement."[4] Several of Troward's books are in the public domain due to their publication before the 1920s.
