In modern society, it is common to consider people with a psychological lens, but how often do we reflect on our spiritual ancestors from such a perspective? The Ego and the Bible: Stories of Divinely Intended Ego explores the stories of major biblical characters-from Adam and Eve to the Apostle Paul and including God, Jesus, and Satan-from a Jungian viewpoint. Starting with the premise that the ego is part of God's plan for humankind, the Rev'd Greg Little examines how the psychology of Carl Jung can enhance our understanding of Christianity as well as our own true nature,. If the ego is a gift of God, then we are intended to use that divine gift for God's purpose. By discovering how ego impacted the lives of our spiritual forbearers, for better and worse, we can learn how to progress along path of psychic maturity, allowing our ego to serve its divine purpose and thus impact our lives, and our world, for the better. By studying the journeys of key men and women in the Bible from this psychological perspective, you'll gain a new perception of familiar stories-and a better understanding of yourself.
