Endorsements

"Ann Belford Ulanov and Alvin Dueck offer a rich, masterful reading of Carl Jung, one of the most interesting and controversial thinkers in recent history. They critically and responsibly engage Jung from theological, psychological, and cultural perspectives in ways that can further enliven integrative understanding. I highly commend this book to those who care about an authentic, culturally sensitive spirituality and to those who desire a sound Christian psychology." -Steven J. Sandage, Bethel University

"Tackles some of the most vexing theological and spiritual issues raised by Jung’s approach to psychological healing. Challenging Jung when he diverges from core Christian beliefs, The Living God and Our Living Psyche nevertheless builds on key Jungian concepts to show how depth psychology can enrich and enliven our life of faith. . . . A finely nuanced discussion, glittering with gems of insight. Anyone who has struggled to understand Jung, any psychotherapist longing to include spiritual issues in the work of healing---indeed, any person of prayer seeking to relate authentically to God over the long haul---will relish this book." -Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary

Thomas R. Schreiner
-- Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"In this volume we are treated to a briefer version of Greg Beale's massive commentary on Revelation, but that work's exegetical depth and theological profundity are still present in the abbreviated volume. No one can afford to preach, teach, or write on Revelation without reading Beale."
