Mysteries of Genesis by Charles Fillmore

Description

'Mysteries of Genesis' is a book by Charles Fillmore, first published in 1936. In this work Fillmore offers a sustained metaphysical and allegorical reading of the opening book of the Bible. Rather than treating Genesis as a simple historical record, he treats its stories as symbolic stages in spiritual development — exploring creation, the nature of mind, the emergence of self, and the inner meanings of familiar figures and episodes. The text is organised as a chapter-by-chapter exposition that aims to unlock spiritual principles hidden beneath literal language, making it appealing to readers interested in esoteric Christianity, New Thought, and practical Bible study from a metaphysical perspective. Grounded in the Unity/New Thought tradition, the book has been used by successive generations of Unity students and other seekers as a guide to interpreting scripture for inner transformation, not merely historical knowledge. Its tone is both devotional and didactic: traditional in respect for the biblical source, yet forward-looking in insisting that Genesis must be read as a living map of psychological and spiritual development rather than only as ancient chronology.
