Description

Dr. Murray Stein's prolific career has produced a substantial body of writings, lectures, and interviews. His writings, captured in these volumes, span a wide domain of topics including Christianity, individuation, midlife, the practice of analytical psychology, and topics in contemporary society. His deep understanding of analytical psychology is much more than an academic discourse, but rather a deeply personal study of Jung that spans nearly half a century.

Analytical Psychology and Christianity is the fifth volume of the Collected Writings of Murray Stein and explores Jung's personal relationship to his own religious tradition, namely Christianity. Jung wrestled intensely with Christian rituals, theology, and personal practice. These topics preoccupied Jung for much of his life. In this volume, Murray Stein illuminates Jung's relationship with Christianity and how he strove to restore its transcendent symbols. Jung and Stein offer guidance for Christianity to flourish into the 21st Century and beyond.
