Summary:

"Jung and the Monotheisms" explores some of the essential aspects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The contributors include leading Jungian analysts and scholars who bring to bear psychological, religious and historical perspectives in an attempt to uncover the nature and psychology of the three monotheisms. The book provides a fresh and profound source of interpretation and comparison of Islam within the western psyche. The editor, Jungian analyst Joel Ryce-Menuhin, is especially concerned to explore both the essential and comparative elements of the religious psychology of Islam and to provide a forum for an increased dialogue between the three monotheisms.
