Jonah and Job, two of the most fascinating books in the Old Testament, are skillfully reinterpreted in this ground-breaking work by M.A. Corey. In Job, Jonah, and the Unconscious, Corey uses the principles of modern depth psychology to address one of humanity's most fundamental concerns the nature of evil through a unique synthesis that will satisfy traditional theologians and hard-core skeptics alike. By applying the tenets of Jungian analysis to our Biblical her-itage, Corey develops a perspective that is simultaneously orthodox and modern, Christian and pluralistic; the unlucky Job and hapless Jonah are given a modern psychological context without being stripped of their religious and moral significance.

Corey's synthetic approach is so comprehensive that even Jung's own beliefs in an imperfect God and the human unconscious are subjected to analysis and declared unten able. The interface between psychology, theology, and meta physics offers a compelling revision of tired dogma that will appeal to open-minded readers of all religious and academic backgrounds.
