Description

In this collection, Carl Jung boldly brings together psychology, philosophical thought, and a metaphysical perspective to reveal the archetypal roots of Christianity. Here you will find unconventional readings of key doctrines and symbols—readings capable of shedding new light on both faith itself and your own “Self.”

Religion—one of the fundamental pillars of the human worldview—has always occupied an important place in Jungian studies. Jung argued that religiosity is inherent in human beings from the outset, and that religion serves as a special attunement of consciousness, expressing an innate need for piety and for higher, sacred guidance.

In the texts included in this volume, the author analyzes Western religion not only in its metaphysical and philosophical dimensions, but also from a psychological standpoint. He offers a distinctive understanding of the archetypal foundation of Christianity and unexpected interpretations of the main Christian symbols and doctrines.
