S2 Ep73. Exploration of Jung’s Answer to Job. Part 1. The Background.

This is the start of miniseries within the Spiritual Crisis of our Time in which I examine Jung’s Answer to Job, one of his most enigmatic and fascinating books, written in 1952 and which was clearly of enormous personal importance to him. This episode: # explores Jung’s own psychology, especially in his childhood, as a background to this work. # presents Jung’s account of his religious and theological struggles in his adolescence. # gives a brief account of the story of Job as presented in the bible. # presents the question that Jung felt he had to answer. This series concerns a metaphysical exploration of nature of evil, the contradictions in the godhead, and the dangers to humanity in our own times.
