5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent combination of psycoanalysis and biblical theory, August 22, 2001
This review is from: King Saul, the Tragic Hero: A Study in Individuation (Paperback)
Sanford's book, though now out of print, was widely enough printed to be easily found at used book stores. For anyone interested in literary analysis of the bible, Sanford presents a fresh perspective through a Jungian lens. By looking at each character's motivations, Sanford finds archetypes that are extremely informative. Moreover, his study serves as fine evidence as to why people have found this text compelling for millennia.

Fantastic, November 23, 2010
This review is from: King Saul, the Tragic Hero: A Study in Individuation (Paperback)
The First King of All Israel. A great personality. A Great King. A Great Warrior.
Mr. Sanford has done a magnificent job at recreating an amazing personality.
King Saul, one of the most important figures of humanity, comes to life in a
very vivid, down to earth style. Lavishly well written, Mr. sanford brings to life
a psychohistorical analysis of a great historical figure. magnificently well written,
well researched, excellently exposed.
