Can analytical psychology be understood as Jung’s attempt to recover a genuine experience of being Christian? If so, was it successful?
Announcement for book release and interview on the Hermitix Podcast
As mentioned before C.G Jung: Face to Face with Christianity - Conversations on dreaming the myth onward is out for release through Chiron Publications 19th August. In the weeks leading up to the release I will share some reflections on the book by scholars such as Murray Stein, my dear editor Christina Galego and listeners of the podcast.
In my opinion the conversations in the book, the introduction and epilogue adds further value to the research of the fertile field of Jungian psychology and Christianity and helps answering the main question that I carried with me in the podcast conversations.
Can analytical psychology be understood as Jung’s attempt to recover a genuine experience of being Christian? If so, was it successful?
The book can still be ordered with a 20% discount by Chiron Publications if your order it from their website. They will also ship it asap and delivers internationally. Amazon will start shipping the book from 19th of August onward but you can already place a pre-order.
Below is the table of content for the book, some endorsements as well as an interview i did about it for my favorite podcast Hermitix. We also did a follow-up interview that will be released in the next weeks. I will also join a few other podcasts to try to spread the word about the book.
