Religion: general; Spirituality & religious experience; Psychology; Analytical & Jungian psychology

These in-depth conversations with leading Jungian analysts and scholars-including Murray Stein, Ann Lammers, Paul Bishop, and David Tacey-explore C.G. Jung's lifelong wrestling with Christianity and its importance for us today. Can analytical psychology be understood as Jung's attempt to recover a genuine experience of being Christian? If so, was it successful?

Jakob Lusensky, in an accessible introduction and throughout these remarkable conversations with experts, pursues Jung's dreaming the myth onward not merely as a fact of history, a historical breakthrough in how and why we undertake analysis, but as a living fundament for people on the path of individuation today-with implications reaching far beyond the individual.

Wide-ranging and insightful, this collection is meant for Jungians (analysts, analysands, readers) for Christians (laypeople and leadership), and for any person anywhere likewise wrestling at the intersection of psychology and religion.

Reviews for C.G. Jung: Face to Face with Christianity - Conversations on Dreaming the Myth Onward

"""Top Jungian analysts and scholars engage with Jung's struggle with Christianity."" -Dr. Murray Stein ""On his podcast, Psychology and the Cross, Jakob Lusensky hosts some of the most vital conversations in the field of Jungian psychology today. It is exciting to have many of these conversations given new life through this book."" -Jason Smith, Jungian Analyst and author of the book Religious but Not Religious: Living a Symbolic Life ""With its informative introduction the book will certainly help to carve out the main points of contention and thus hopefully invigorate the important discussion on Jung and Christianity."" -Dr. Martin Liebscher, Associate Professor, School of European Languages, Culture, and Society, University College, London ""In his analysis, Lusensky importantly highlights the political dimensions of therapy work and how individual suffering is deeply rooted in society and culture."" -Andrew Samuels, former Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex"
