Description
Considered certainly one of Jung’s such a lot controversial works, Answer to Job also stands as Jung’s such a lot extensive observation on a biblical text. Here, he confronts the tale of the person who challenged God, the person who experienced hell on this planet and still didn’t reject his faith. Job’s journey parallels Jung’s own experience–as reported in The Red Book: Liber Novus–of descending into the depths of his own unconscious, confronting and reconciling the rejected aspects of his soul.
This paperback edition of Jung’s classic work features a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London. Described by Shamdasani as “the theology at the back of The Red Book,” Answer to Job examines the symbolic role that theological concepts play in a person’s psychic life.
