Ego and Self: The Old Testament Prophets (Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts) 1 review
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 2000
Clear thinking from a Jungian Analyst
Edinger is a gift to Jungian Psychology. He writes clearly and carefully about Jungian beliefs and theory. If I am having trouble understanding Jung himself, Edinger always helps. The relationship between the ego and the self is one of the more difficult relationships to understand, and Edinger helps us along that way.

The Bible and the Psyche: Individuation Symbolism in the Old Testament (Studies in Jungian Psychology No. 24)1 review
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1986
Minister's Review
Edinger offers so much of value in this book -I wish I'd read it earlier. Actually, I want to read everything he's written.
It seems to me that contemporary Jungians are making a great step forward with books like this. I wish more Christians had a chance to learn about their faith and scriptures from the point of view of analytical psychology. I'm prepared to purchase multiple copies and ...

Creation of Consciousness: Jung's Myth for Modern Man (Studies in Jungian Psychology, 14.)3 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1984
philosophically limited but excellent Jungian reading
Although Edinger never really understood current discoveries in epistemology, he treats the topic of consciousness and its origins from a superbly depth-psych perspective, spicing the book with priceless observations and commentary. I wish it had been a longer book--very enjoyable. There is a remarkable section in which Edinger defends his thesis that the ego's individuative activities leave some ...

The Psyche in Antiquity: Early Greek Philosophy : From Thales to Plotinus (Studies in Jungian Psychology By ... 3 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1999
Brilliant!
I must sometimes grit my teeth and slog through Edinger to discover his pearls of wisdom. Not this time. This work I found quite accesible, the material thoroughly digested, well laid out and clearly explained. My copy is already massively underlined and dog-eared. (I'm presuming you'd have some knowledge of Jung before reading this book.)

Ego and Archetype14 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
C G Jung Fndtn, 1972
A fascinating insight into the Bible's message
This is the best interpretation of the Scriptures according to Jungian psychoanalysis. It is recommended to everybody who has doubts in the dogmaic Chrisitan way to read the Bible and it is a source for individual wholeness for those who try to find it in the Scriptures.

The New God-Image: A Study of Jung's Key Letters Concerning the Evolution of the Western God-Image3 reviews
Edward F. Edinger, Dianne D. Cordic, ...
Chiron Publications, 1996
Genius Level Follow-up To Jung
This book is an expansion and follow-up to Jung's equally wonderful book "Answer to Job." Edinger talks extensively about the evolution of Western man's idea of God. His "God-Image" (not God literately), but rather man's perception of God and how that has changed through-out the centuries. Edinger continues to strike a wonderful balance between scholarship and accessablity. Although, this book is ...

Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy (Reality of the Psyche Series)7 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Open Court Publishing Company, 1991
A great introduction to a fascinating subject
If I had my time over again I would read these three books on alchemy in the following order: All of them are excellent in their own sphere to introduce a complex process. (1) The Forge and the Crucible - Eliade This is an excellent prehistory of alchemy showing the patterns of thought out of which Alchemy most probably arose. An easy read. (2) Anatomy of the Soul - Edinger Set out according to ...

The Aion Lectures: Exploring the Self in C.G. Jung's Aion (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts)1 review
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1996
a clarification of awesome lucidity
Edinger is second only to von Franz as an interpreter of Jung, and in this book he takes Jung's AION step by step and explains the most difficult and meaningful parts of the book with unsurpassable acumen. A perfect companion to Jung's own book.

Melville's Moby Dick - An American Nekyia: An American Nekyia (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian ...3 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1995
Illuminates both Jung and Melville
Edinger says upfront that his goal is to illuminate both Moby Dick and Jungian theory, in effect using them to throw light on each other. The fit between Melville's characters and Jungian character types and archetypes is clear and clean, never forced. Generous quotes from the novel illustrate Edinger's points. Edinger references page numbers from the Penquin Classics edition of Moby Dick. ...

Archetype of the Apocalypse: Divine Vengeance, Terrorism, and the End of the World4 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Open Court, 2002
Open Your Eyes and See the World for the First Time...
I grew up pentacostal and the Apocalypse (as described in Revelations) was a very real event, about to happen at any moment. As a child I never really expected to see my adulthood, "knowing" that the world would end. Now of course, I see things slightly differently. This book by Edinger is why I really enjoy Jungian psychology. Edinger puts into perspective the beliefs of millions of ...

The Christian Archetype: A Jungian Commentary on the Life of Christ (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian ... 4 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1987
Something Not For The Literal-Minded
I've often referred to Edward Edinger as "the primier theologian of Jungian psychology." By this, I don't mean that Edinger knows a lot about theology (which he does). Rather, I mean that Edinger is one of those earlier Jungians who accepted Jung's views as gospel facts to be believed. Fortunately, he was also a highly intelligent man who was capable of expounding the details of Jung's personal ...

The Mystery of the Coniunctio: Alchemical Image of Individuation (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian ...2 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1994
A clear respresentation of the alchemical process
I thought the Rosarium essay in particular was very clearly written and much easier to understand than reading from Jung's exposition. I'm quickly becoming an Edinger fan.

Goethe's Faust: Notes for a Jungian Commentary (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts, No. 43) 1 review
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1990
Much is said, little is explained
There is so much said so quickly, with so little explanation. Though the observations made were interesting and in line with what I was hoping for in a Jungian interpretation of Goethe's work, Jung's concepts are not simple and self-explanatory. Where there was a sentence of explanation, there should have been a paragraph. Where there was a paragraph, there should have been pages.

Transformation of the God-Image: An Elucidation of Jung's Answer to Job (Studies in Jungian Psychology By ...2 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1992
Excellent in-depth treatment of Jung's most famous book
Jung has said that Answer to Job is the one book he wrote he wouldn't change. Answer to Job covers more than psychology, it is a book of poetic dimensions. It is notoriously hard to understand. Edinger's work opens up the contents of Answer to Job. Every page of this wonderful little book is brimful of insights taking one from appreciation of Answer to Job to understanding. Edinger has a ...

The Mysterium Lectures: A Journey Through C.G. Jung's Mysterium Conjunctions (Studies in Jungian Psychology ...2 reviews
Edward F. Edinger
Inner City Books, 1995
Excellent commentary on Jung's major work
This book is a section by section commentary on Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis. Alchemy is a confusing topic by itself. Jung's interpretation of it is highly nuanced and can easily be confusing as well. And so one needs someone with the insight and knowledge of an Edward Edinger to lead the reader throught the murky terrain of Jung's text. I had a college professor once say to me "A bad ...

Archetype of the Apocalypse: A Jungian Study of the Book of Revelation 2 reviews
Edward F. Edinger, George R. Elder
Open Court Publishing Company, 1999
A lucid description of apocalyptic psychology.
Once again Edinger turns his analyst's eye on a seminal topic--in this case, the apocalypse archetype--and provides useful interpretations and amplifications. The book's one drawback is the degree to which Edinger's rather fundamental Jungianism shows through...proving the book's thesis that it's easy to become possessed by this particular archetype. Recommended. -- Craig Chalquist, M.S., ...
