Description

Dr. Murray Stein’s new book, The Bible as Dream: A Jungian Interpretation, looks at the Bible as a Jungian analyst would a long dream series in which a personality and a self are emerging and coming into time and space from out of the depths of the unconscious. The Bible is the story of a collective individuation process. On September 12th, 2018, we will host a live lecture where Dr. Stein will discuss his work.  Registrants may also view a recorded version of the seminar available within a few days.

The lectures in this book are a work of respectful and loving interpretation. The Bible presents a world elaborated with reference to a specific God image. As the mythographer Karl Kerenyi puts it in writing about the Greek gods and goddesses, every god and every goddess constitutes a world. So it is too with the biblical God. The biblical world is the visionary product of a particular people, the ancient Hebrews and the early Christians, who delved deeply into their God image and pulled from it the multitude of perspectives, rules for life, spiritual practices, and practical implications that all together created the tapestry that we find depicted in the canonical Bible. Yahweh is the heart and soul of this world, its creator, sustainer, and destroyer. The Bible is a dream that tells the story of how this world was brought into being in space and time and what it means.
