Customer Reviews

Excellent combination of psycoanalysis and biblical theory

Sanford's book, though now out of print, was widely enough printed to be easily found at used book stores. For anyone interested in literary analysis of the bible, Sanford presents a fresh perspective through a Jungian lens. By looking at each character's motivations, Sanford finds archetypes that are extremely informative. Moreover, his study serves as fine evidence as to why people have found this text compelling for millennia.
