Synopsis

C. G. Jung's psychology of individuation and self is rooted in his interpretation of Christianity. This issue, guest-edited by Greg Mogenson, contains a new article by Wolfgang Giegerich that critically examines Jung's thesis concerning the one-sidedness of Christianity. Several in-depth reactions to the Giegerich article from a half-dozen contributors follow, offering a thorough-going collegial discussion of important aspects of Jungian thought. Topics addressed include the telos of Christianity, the theology/psychology difference, the reality of evil question, and the kenosis dynamic central to the Christian message and its relation to the end of theism.
