A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible by Dr. Steven L. Hairfield (and similar metaphysical interpretations) reinterprets biblical stories not as literal history, but as metaphors for spiritual enlightenment and the inner workings of human consciousness. It uses New Thought principles to extract divine truths regarding self-realization, practical spirituality, and one's relationship with God. The book is aimed at readers looking to explore the deeper, mystical meanings of the scriptures.
