Metaphysical Bible Dictionary: A Classic Unity Reference Work on the Spiritual Meaning of Scripture - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Metaphysical Bible Dictionary is a major Unity and New Thought reference work for readers seeking the spiritual, symbolic, and metaphysical meanings of biblical names, places, events, and ideas. Rather than treating the Bible only as history, doctrine, or conventional commentary, Charles Fillmore approaches Scripture as a living text whose people, locations, images, and narratives point toward inner states of consciousness and spiritual development. The result is a substantial Bible dictionary designed for study, meditation, interpretation, and practical spiritual application.

First published in 1931 by Unity School of Christianity, Metaphysical Bible Dictionary remains one of the central reference works associated with the Unity movement. Entries offer symbolic and metaphysical interpretations of biblical figures, locations, and terms, making the book especially useful for readers of New Thought, metaphysical Christianity, esoteric Bible study, spiritual healing, affirmation-based religion, and nontraditional Christian interpretation. It is a large, serious reference volume rather than a brief devotional, and it belongs naturally beside other Unity and New Thought classics by writers such as H. Emilie Cady, Myrtle Fillmore, Ernest Holmes, Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Ralph Waldo Trine.

Charles Fillmore was born in 1854 and, with his wife Myrtle Fillmore, founded the Unity spiritual movement in 1889. Unity became one of the major expressions of New Thought, emphasizing prayer, spiritual healing, affirmative thought, divine mind, and the practical application of spiritual principles in daily life. Fillmore’s writings helped shape the language and theology of metaphysical Christianity, and his interpretation of Scripture remains central to Unity study. In Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, his method is seen at full scale: biblical language is treated as a map of consciousness, and the Bible becomes a guide to inner transformation, spiritual understanding, and the awakening of divine life within the individual.
