Reviews

A must read for those who are wanting a deeper understanding of Revelations.
I recently read Edinger's Ego and Archetype, which I really enjoyed. This book is comprised of spoken lectures, and books from lectures never seem to have the consideration needed to fully express an idea in a truly enjoyable sense.
Edward Edinger was one of the great Jungians: intelligent, perceptive, compassionate, and always understandable to the general reader, no matter how complex the material. He demonstrates all these qualities as writer, psychologist, and concerned human being in this fine book about the symbolic meaning of the Apocalypse.
I can't believe how receiving this book has moved me! It was is pristine condition (as I had hoped) but it was well wrapped not only inside a vinyl sleeve for protection but also having a light cardboard backing to protect the book when shipped in a padded media envelope.
Professor Edward Edinger, Psychiatrist, Jungian scholar, and ex-Jehovah Witness, uses the book of Revelations to draw us into a web that intersects at the vertex of all of his many professional realms of interests and understandings. Once he has us captured there, in his own intellectual corner, he then "uses the theme of cultural transition" disguised as, and implicit in, the deeply symbolic scriptures taken from the book of Revelations, to advance an unlikely version of a very "familiar" theory of archetypes: One that turns out to be as much existentialist philosophy and depth-psychology as hardcore religiosity.
Edinger interprets the apocalypse myth as an expression of the experience of the conscious becoming aware the unconscious - a loss of innocence. Disillusion is never a pleasant experience.
