- Summary:
- This book offers an intellectual and cultural context for C. G. Jung's 1952 work. Initially greeted with controversy, "Answer to Job" has been neglected by many serious commentators on Jung. "Jung's Answer to Job: A Commentary" places the "Answer to Job" in the context of biblical commentary, and then examines the circumstances surrounding its composition and immediate reception. "Jung's Answer to Job" unravels Jung's narrative, offering a comprehensive re-reading of Jung's text, as well as a re-positioning in its cultural context. Whilst remaining true to the tenets of analytical psychology, this commentary underlines "Answer to Job"'s greater significance in terms of cultural history. It will be invaluable to students and scholars of analytical psychology, religion and those who subscribe to Jung's ideas.
