The Christian Archetype: A Jungian Commentary on the Life of Christ (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts, No 28)
Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Carl Jung said "What happens in the life of Christ happens always and everywhere. In the Christian archetype all lives of this kind are prefigured. " The Christian Archetype presents a much-needed psychological interpretation of images and events central to the Christian myth, which may be understood symbolically in terms of the individuation of modern men and women. The process of individuation, when it befalls a person, may lead to salvation or calamity. The reader will find in the pages of The Christian Archetype an ordered and grpahic amplifiction of this archetypal process. In prose and in pictures carefully selected from traditional Christian art, Edward Edinger illustrates some essential stages (from Annunciation through Crucifixion to Resurrection) both in the life of Christ and in those who by choice or fate become immersed in their own psychological destiny. The Christian Archetype is a valuable addition to the growing body of Jungian literature.
