Paul Tillich, Carl Jung, and the

Recovery of Religion

This book compares the theology of Tillich with the psychology of Jung,

arguing that they were both concerned with the recovery of a valid religious

sense for contemporary culture.

Paul Tillich, Carl Jung, and the Recovery of

Religion

explores in detail the diminution of the human spirit through the

loss of its contact with its native religious depths, a problem on which both

spent much of their working lives and energies.

Both Tillich and Jung work with a naturalism that grounds all religion on

processes native to the human being. Tillich does this in his eﬀorts to recover

that point at which divinity and humanity coincide and from which they

diﬀerentiate. Jung does this by identifying the archetypal unconscious as the

source of all religions now working toward a religious sentiment of more

universal sympathy. This book identiﬁes the dependence of both on German

mysticism as a common ancestry and concludes with a reﬂection on how their

joint perspective might aﬀect religious education and the relation of religion

to science and technology.

Throughout the book, John Dourley looks back to the roots of both men’s

ideas about mediaeval theology and Christian mysticism, making it ideal

reading for analysts and academics in the

ﬁelds

of Jungian and religious

studies.
