Commentary Toward Books Answer to Job

Jung has never pursued the "psychology of religion" apart from general psychology. The unique importance of his work lies rather in his discovery and treatment of religious, or potentially religious, factors in his investigation into the unconscious as a whole and in his general therapeutic practice. In Answer to Job, first published in Zurich in 1952, Jung employs the familiar language of theological discourse. Such terms as "God," "wisdom," and "evil" are the touchstones of his argument. And yet, Answer to Job, perhaps Jung's most controversial work, is not an essay in theology as much as it is an examination of the symbolic role that theological concepts play in a person's psychic life.

Assess Out Of Books Answer to Job

When dealing with the contradictions in the Bible, this book is on fire. Its main interpretation of the Book of Job has changed the way I think about it. However, as one of the early psychoanalysts, Jung applies his garbage theory in barely readable pose. Sometimes it was so convoluted I read sentences and paragraphs several times over and still couldnt quite figure what he was saying. In short, this is occasionally insightful, but for the most part is schlock and a dreadful read.

First off, I'm a Freudian. So whenever I pick up anything written by Jung it is always with a sense of reluctance. His work is both the furthest departure from his great mentor (Freud himself), and at the same time completely saturated with Freudian Thought. The last and by far most controversial work by the master's star pupil, this book is at times a breathless read and at others a walk through a swamp. For all of his brilliant insight Dr. Jung was, in my opinion, limited at least to a small

This book is not an easy beach read, but capital L Literature. It's dry, full of big words, greek, and latin phrases, and requires at least a basic knowledge of not just the mainstream bible but apocrypha such as Enoch. For a book written by a famed psychologist the book is mostly theology, which I found surprising. For as difficult as it is to read, it's also mercifully short at 108 pages.On to the content. Jung believes Christ is the titular Answer to Job, in that god wanted to become man, and

Carl Jung is highly respected by psychiatrists, both private and religious. I read some works by Jung on dreams and people who claimed they saw flying saucers. These works so much impressed me that I also formed a high opinion of Jung. I then read Answer to Job." What an eye opener! I realized now that this man, so highly revered as an expert on human thinking, doesn't understand who God is and what God has done, even with Job.Jung claims that God once was in a state of unconsciousness and was

this book challenges any christian to examine our somewhat naive concept of the shadow of god, and encourages us to reach past our all-too-often childish understanding of salvation.

Once upon a time the all-knowing God made a bet with Satan about the faithful Job and whether he could stand all manner of persecution. A couple of thousand years later, Jung wrote about it and it was much more enlightening than the thoughts of the Pharisees and Saducees. Was this the turning point in the old school yin/yang love-you/kill-you God of great fear and trembling into the modern God of love? Or does the Book of Revelations prove that God is still very angry at you? Read this to find

Carl Jung asks and answer many important, anthropological questions that Job might have asked. Like what did I your faithful servant do. From a purely human viewpoint Carl trys to resolve and accept the dual nature of God. Light and Dark, Love and Justice, Creation and the death and destruction awaiting us in revelation. Heck what about Japan's Tsunammi? How can God let that happen.To that I say this:Job is a story in the Bible, probalby written as a result of a dream that occured to a mystic.
