The Man who Wrestled with God : Light from the Old Testament on the Psychology of Individuation



Exploring Old Testament stories from the perspective of analytical psychology (Jungian). This book depicts biblical characters as reflections of the human soul struggling to achieve wholeness, awareness, and the process of individuation. The author dissects four central stories: Adam and Eve, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses. These stories are separated from their historical context and seen as metaphors for the struggles of modern humans. He shows how inner awareness, suffering, and awareness of God's presence shape the character of a mature and whole (individuated) human being. The main title represents humanity's inner struggle with God and the dark aspects of itself before finally finding true maturity. The story of Adam and Eve is interpreted not simply as a mistake or punishment, but as a moral obligation for humans to escape from unconsciousness to awareness. This book is highly relevant for those interested in exploring the integration of religious spirituality and Jungian psychology.
