A must read

This book challenges many of our religious traditions and beliefs based on Jung's letters. Edinger works through these letters and explains Jung's ideas in understandable ways. This book also provides a history of religious thought and brings us to a new God-image.

Genius Level Follow-up To Jung

This book is an expansion and follow-up to Jung's equally wonderful book "Answer to Job." Edinger talks extensively about the evolution of Western man's idea of God. His "God-Image" (not God literately), but rather man's perception of God and how that has changed through-out the centuries. Edinger continues to strike a wonderful balance between scholarship and accessablity. Although, this book is by no means "lite-reading", it is a thoughtful book that the educated lay-person would find helpful, particluarly for those on a spiritual path.
