This review is from: The Psyche as Sacrament: A Comparative Study of C.G. Jung and Paul Tillich (Studies in Jungian Psychology) (Paperback)

John Dourley is one of the most underrated authors of the 20th-early 21st century. Absolutely critical for depth-psychologists and systematic theologians alike. Dourley has an excellent understanding of Jung and Tillich. He takes a critical approach to theology, which is very important for theologians who must be prepared to meet this kind of challenge. Dourley understands the personal unconscious complexes which propel religion and the search for meaning, and helps us figure out if this mindset comes from God - or from the psyche. The idea of the psychological complex origins of religion is a question theologians must be prepared to answer. Our faith could live or die based on how we respond to Dourley's challenges. This book is so important, so profound, so dense, and can provide infinite riddles and mysteries for the sytematic theologian or any follower of Paul Tillich.
