Of all the books of the Bible, few have had more resonance for modern listeners than the Book of Job.

For a world that over the past century has witnessed horrors the like of which could not have been imagined by earlier generations, Job’s cries of despair and incomprehension are all too recognisable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung understood this and responded with this remarkable book, in which he set himself face to face with 'the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness'.

Jung perceived in the hidden recesses of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a biblical scholar but 'as a layman and physician who has been privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people', offers a way for every listener to come to terms with the divine darkness which confronts each individual.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) founded the analytical school of psychology and developed a radical new theory of the unconscious. Translated by R. F. C. Hull.

Very interesting interpretation of the book of Job. Clearly Jung is drawing from gnostic and apocryphal texts, which will a mostly certainly be rejected by most Christian dogmatists, which won’t leave Christian’s on the street level’s understanding of Yahweh, The Lord, God, Jehovah changed in any significant way. I do think Jung, like all the followers of the abrahamic faith systems, stretch Yahweh too much into the shape of the ultimate supreme deity. Joseph Campbell’s seminal series on mythology and its evolution into theology tackles that issue with finesse and supreme insight and intelligence. Jung’s biases as a Protestant and a gnostic shine though here.

any self-proclaimed atheist or christian will find the content in this book compelling, upsetting, mind-blowing, and thoroughly impressive. psychology counterbalances the necessity for "physical facts" when seeking truth, therefore, christianity is given a new point of view through the lens of psychology's "psychic facts".

as it pertains to the book of job, this book covers the psychohistorical development of man's question of "why does suffering exist", a 2000 year conundrum that has been exhumed for investigation through the scientific lens of psychology. this book is especially great for people who see physics as the paradigmatic science, yet lambast psychology's so-called "objectivity". this book has a good chance of transforming one's point of view on this matter, as I was a self-proclaimed, deeply commited agnostic atheist up until I read Carl Jung from the age of 18 up to my current age of 25.

this book also has a companion volume in edward edinger, would highly recommend since the material in this book is extraordinarily dense in its allusions to psychohistoric symbols.

a landmark development in the Christian meta
