In Unity we value the Bible as an important handbook of our evolving spiritual consciousness. We interpret it metaphysically or metaphorically rather than literally; the Bible is divinely inspired, but we do not teach that it is the “living word of God.” Each person, place, and event is symbolic of aspects within us, much like a dream represents our inner dynamics. We are evolving from Old Testament, or law, symbolized by Moses, to New Testament, or grace, symbolized by Jesus Christ. The historical events in Scripture are significant, but secondary to the deeper meaning.
