I remain somewhat unconvinced that Jung's interwoven theses gel together eloquently within the same exploratory study. Grandiose musings on God's latent desires to become Man while also toying with ideas about the psychology of the unconscious. Perhaps my theological (and indeed psychological) education has proven insufficient to grasp the interplay, or I really am on firm ground when I say he should pick a lane. His chapter-by-chapter progression from historical regurgitation marching further into apocalyptical projection felt clunky at moments, yet that may also be the result of me biting into it one chapter at a time. Irrespective of the mechanics of his writing, the suggestions (and indeed proposals) presented here are profound, deeply unsettling to my Catholic education, and fascinating to consider. I likely haven't understood everything I've read, but I can't say I'm worse off for having tried.
