Bringing together two disparate theories under a trans-disciplinary framework, G. C. Tympas presents a comparison of Carl Jung s theory of psychic development and Maximus the Confessor s model of spiritual progress. An evolutional relationship between the psychological and the spiritual is proposed for a dynamic interpretation of spiritual experience."Carl Jung and Maximus the Confessor on Psychic Development "offers a creative synthesis of elements and directions from both theories and further explores:- Jung s views on religion in a dialogue with Maximus concepts- The different directions and goals of Jung s and Maximus models- Jung s Answer to Job in relation to Maximus theory of final restoration .Tympas argues that a synthesis of Jung s and Maximus models comprises a broader trans-disciplinary paradigm of development, which can serve as a pluralistic framework for considering the composite psycho-spiritual development.Constructively combining strands of differing disciplines, this book will appeal to those looking to explore the dialogue between analytical psychology, early Christian theology and Greek philosophy.
