C. G. Jung, son of a Swiss Reformed pastor, used his Christian
background throughout his career to illuminate the psychological roots
of all religions. Jung believed religion was a profound, psychological
response to the unknown--both the inner self and the outer worlds--and
he understood Christianity to be a profound meditation on the meaning
of the life of Jesus of Nazareth within the context of Hebrew
spirituality and the Biblical worldview. Murray Stein's introduction
relates Jung's personal relationship with Christianity to his
psychological views on religion in general, his hermeneutic of
religious thought, and his therapeutic attitude toward Christianity.
This volume includes extensive selections from Psychological Approach
to the Dogma of the Trinity," "Christ as a Symbol of the Self," from
Aion, "Answer to Job," letters to Father Vincent White from Letters,
and many more.
