'''Anagogical''', from Greek '''Anagoge''', sometimes spelled '''anagogy''', is a Greek word suggesting a "climb" or "ascent" upwards. The anagogical is a method of literal interpretation of spiritual statements or events, especially scriptural [[exegesis]] that detects allusions (suggestive references) to the [[afterlife]].
According to [[St. Thomas Aquinas]] the senses of scriptural meaning are four: the [[Historical-critical method (Higher criticism)#The literal sense of scripture|literal]] and the [[spiritual]], the spiritual sense of scripture divided into the [[Allegory|allegorical]], the [[moral]], and the anagogical.
