About this listen

In The Bible as Dream, Murray Stein shares important themes in the biblical narrative that from a psychological perspective, stand out as essential features of the meaning of the Bible for the modern listener.

The Bible presents a world elaborated with reference to a specific God image. As the mythographer Karl Kerenyi puts it in writing about the Greek gods and goddesses, every god and every goddess constitutes a world. So it is too with the biblical God, whose name Stein exceptionally capitalizes throughout out of cultural respect. The biblical world is the visionary product of a particular people, the ancient Hebrews and the early Christians, who delved deeply into their God image and pulled from it the multitude of perspectives, rules for life, spiritual practices, and practical implications that all together created the tapestry that we find depicted in the canonical Bible. Yahweh is the heart and soul of this world, its creator, sustainer, and destroyer. The Bible is a dream that tells the story of how this world was brought into being in space and time and what it means.

Don't miss these timeless lectures - a work of respectful and loving interpretation.

First time reading from Murray Stein

The performance made it easy to get distracted as I was trying to listen. I’ve listened to it twice and plan to do it again, especially the second part as he discusses The Gospel According to John. The theme of the Jungian approach in general is something I’m very interested in this year and I happened upon Stein in the process of gathering data surrounding the topic. I appreciate his writing and his story, which causes me to want to try this again for the third time.
