The Bible As Dream by Murray B. Stein

A Jungian Interpretation

Reading scripture as a vast symbolic dream, the book treats biblical stories and images as expressions of the collective unconscious and interprets them through Jungian psychology. It explores major narratives and recurring motifs—exile and return, descent and ascent, shadow and self—as archetypal stages of individuation, arguing that a mythic, imaginal reading of the Bible can reveal psychological dynamics and resources for personal and spiritual growth rather than serving only literal or doctrinal purposes.
