Jung’s Treatment of Christianity

The Psychotherapy of a Religious Tradition

This book is an insightful and convincing interpretation of Jung’s encounter with Christianity. In the last 20 years of his life, Jung wrote extensively on the Trinity, the Mass, alchemy, and the Bible, in what Murray Stein understands as his effort to help Christianity evolve into its next stage of development. Here, Stein provides a comprehensive analysis of Jung’s writings on Christianity in relation to his personal life, psychological thought, and efforts to transform Western religion.
