The Roots of Jewish Consciousness, Volume One

This previously unpublished two-part work by Erich Neumann explores the challenge of Jewish survival and the need for psychological and spiritual survival in addition to physical survival. Volume One focuses on the individual capacity to meet the sacred directly, receive revelation, and prophesy, drawing from both scriptural and intertestamental literature. Neumann's work is interpreted through the lens of Jung's teaching and supplemented with references to other Jewish scholars. This unique and fully annotated volume, including a foreword and editorial introduction, will appeal to Jungian analysts, psychotherapists, historians of psychology, Jewish scholars, and students of comparative religion.
