Jung and the Monotheisms [Paperback]

Jung and the Monotheismsprovides an exploration of some of the essential aspects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Leading Jungian analysts, theologians and scholars - including Baroness Vera von der Heydt, Ann Belford Ulanov and Murray Stein - bring to bear psychological, religious and historical perspectives in an attempt to uncover the nature and psychology of the three monotheisms. The editor, Joel Ryce-Menuhin, is especially concerned to bring both the essential and comparative elements of the religious psychology of Islam to the attention of the contemporary reader and to provide a forum for an increased dialogue between the three monotheisms.Sarah Ansari, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College; Nicholas Battye, Pschotherapist, London; William Chittick, State University of New York; John Dourley, Carleton University, Canada; Gustav Dreifuss, Haifa University, Israel; Freema Gottlieb, New York (author of Jewish Folk Art,1986 and The Lamp of God,1989); Vera Von der Heydt, trained with Jung and is a big name in analytical psychology based in London; Siegmund Hurwitz, worked with Jung and has written many books in German; Rabbi Levi Meier, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles;Andrew Louth, Prof. Cultural History, Goldsmith's College, London; Leon Schlam, University of Kent;Murray Stein, Chicago; Sara Sviri, University College London; Ann Belford Ulanov, Union Theological Seminary, USA
