Editorial Reviews
Review
"If you would understand the deepest roots of terrorism, greed, and religious fanaticism, read Facing the Dragon. "But be forewarned: you may find some offshoots in your own garden." --June Singer, Jungian analyst, author of Boundaries of the Soul
By exploring and explaining the deep structures in the human psyche, Dr. Moore gives those of us who long to take our recovery deeper a book full of useful and life-changing ideas and insights that will help us do just that. Recovering from any addiction is true spiritual warfare. This book further arms readers to fight our life-and-death battles. --John Lee, author of The Flying Boy
Product Description
Traditional doctrinal and historical interpretation both rely heavily on rational analysis. But from the disciples at Emmaus to the beginnings of the present century, it has been the impact of scripture upon the human heart that has changed human lives. In recent decades, this impact has been strengthened by advances in linguistic and literary theory, by such disparate influences as feminism, structuralism, Jungianism, deconstructionism, the analysis of archaic imagery and myth, the recovery of Gnostic texts, and finally an openness to pluralism, whether ethnic, geographic, religious, or interpretive. All of these factors are treated here with a brevity and comprehensiveness which convincingly show that the reader of scripture has a creative and not merely passive role.
