Metaphysical Bible Dictionary - Charles Fillmore

. .

Résumé :
Metaphysical Bible Dictionary is Charles Fillmore's major New Thought reference work on the spiritual and symbolic meanings of biblical names, places, people, and terms. First published by the Unity School of Christianity in 1931, the book presents the Bible not chiefly as history, doctrine, or conventional commentary, but as a text rich with inner significance. Fillmore's entries interpret Scripture through the lens of metaphysical Christianity, Unity teaching, spiritual symbolism, and the New Thought understanding of mind, consciousness, healing, and divine life. Alphabetically arranged for reference use, Metaphysical Bible Dictionary is designed for readers seeking a deeper spiritual interpretation of biblical language. Its definitions connect names and images from the Bible with ideas of consciousness, prayer, spiritual growth, divine order, faith, healing, and inner transformation. For readers of New Thought, Unity, metaphysical Christianity, Bible symbolism, spiritual reference, and classic mind-cure literature, Fillmore's dictionary remains one of the most substantial works in the tradition....

Sommaire:
Charles Fillmore was an American New Thought writer, teacher, and co-founder of the Unity movement, one of the most influential religious and metaphysical movements to emerge from the nineteenth-century mind-cure and New Thought tradition. Born in 1854, Fillmore developed a system of spiritual interpretation that joined Christianity, healing, affirmative prayer, metaphysical thought, and the study of consciousness. With Myrtle Fillmore, he helped establish Unity as a major centre for practical Christianity, spiritual healing, and affirmative religious teaching.Fillmore's writings interpret the Bible as a guide to inner transformation as well as a sacred text, reading names, places, events, and images as symbols of spiritual states and divine principles. Metaphysical Bible Dictionary is one of his most important reference works, gathering interpretations of biblical terms through the lens of Unity and New Thought. His work remains central for readers interested in metaphysical Christianity, spiritual Bible interpretation, New Thought, affirmative prayer, divine healing, and the religious history of modern American spirituality....
