Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0

Christianity without the Cross by Thomas Fudge.

Fudge argues that the current histories of the UPCI have downplayed the significance of the doctrinal differences regarding the new birth that were present at the time of the formation of the UPCI in 1945 and that the faction that believed that Acts 2.38 equals the new birth has consistently violated the spirit of the merger and has contended for their view to such an extent that their view is now the only acceptable view of the New Birth in the UPCI. It is fascinating that the first general superintendent of the UPCI, Howard Goss, did not believe that Acts 2.38 equaled the new birth.

I can't believe that there might have been debates about this book. :-)

It's a bit early to say much. Man and His Symbols was edited by him, but he didn't write the bulk of it, though it all pretty much contains his ideas, as the rest was written by his highly trained staff. Dr. Jung only wrote the opening essay.

And, apart from that, the only other work of his that I have read in full is The Undiscovered Self.

I was thoroughly impressed with the first two chapters, confused and couldn't make much sense of the next two, but rather liked the end.

The first two chapters read to me like a prophecy for the future. I posted a youtube video to an audio version of the book here in this thread some pages back. As much as people want to credit George Orwell for his seemingly prophetic view in 1984, I find Dr. Jung's treatment of collectivism versus individualism orders of magnitude more insightful.

I've purchased and intend to read Dr, Jung's The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. I think once I've read through that, I can come away with a conclusion.

But so far I am enjoying myself. I find the material interesting, even fascinating at times. I haven't found myself changed or wowed with agreement, except for those first two chapters mentioned above.

It seems to me his understanding of the Self, and the process of individuation and the shadow is very coherent. But there is a lot more to learn about his views.

I read some of his works before I was born again. Not a large quantity, however.
