Out of the life and thought of a noted psychologist, Carl Jung, comes a captivating method for reading and understanding the Bible. Jung's study of psychology and his extensive knowledge of the human psyche give Biblical readers a new perspective for getting at the Word of God. People who read the Bible are real people who want to believe, to understand, to learn. Jung, not a Biblical scholar but a lay person and physician, helps us to believe...to understand...to learn. He views the Bible not as an ancient artifact but as an agent in the present whose myth, story, law, song, gospel, epistle, and apocalypse has the capacity to speak with power to contemporary hearts and souls.
