Although many Christians and theologians of a traditional theological outlook have been inclined to view the writings of Carl Jung, as well as those of other psychoanalysts and psychologists, with suspicion, the author believes that Jung's criticism of the traditional outlook can be the source of new vitality for it. He characterizes that criticism as ""radical and real, but not unsympathetic."" The book proceeds to demonstrate this thesis in a series of chapters in which several of Jung's important works are examined, one by one, and their counterparts in Christian theology are compared. While this procedure serves to illuminate both the psychological and the religious components, there are times when the author would appear to see correlations more readily than the actual meanings intended by Jung--or by theology--would justify. The outcome is to reassure the reader that there is considerable compatibility between the Jungian view and the Christian, with the result that some of the radical--if not irreconcilable--implications of Jung's thought are overlooked. The style is readable, even popular in tone, but the ideas presented are more abstract and complex than this treatment would suggest. A book for students in the fields of Jungian psychology and Christian theology, and for informed lay readers.
