Letter to Pastor Walter Bernet
Jung, Carl Gustav
Letter to Pastor Walter Bernet - 1999.
36
Jung interprets the Holy Scriptures as a psychologist, which leads him to suggest a renewal of theological concepts. He sees a need to adapt these concepts to the psychic reality of contemporary man. The problems he raises, his method, and the conclusions he reaches closely resemble the conjectures of 15th-century humanists. Citing this spiritual kinship, the author demonstrates the influence of Renaissance historian Jakob Burckhardt on Jung’s thought.
