More than a century ago, Friedrich Nietzsche proclaimed the
death of God as a defining characteristic of the modern world. Even
so, religion continues to have a pervasive influence in the
postmodern world of the twenty-first century. Since the 1970s,
there has been a dramatic resurgence of religion and
spirituality.
This collection of reflective essays explores spirituality and
its changing relationship to culture, individual identity, and
society in our increasingly globalized, postmodern world. Born out
of a doctoral seminar at Pacifica Graduate Institute entitled ?The
God Complex, ? the essays provide a personal understanding of
diverse and conflicting worldviews and attitudes about religion,
secularity, nature, and the purpose of human existence. With a rich
range of perspectives, each offering provides a powerful testament
to the interdisciplinary study of myth, religion, and depth
psychology as a means for revisioning one's understanding of the
divine.
Praise for "Evolving God-Images" "?A deeply moving example of
what can happen in the classroom when, almost magically, the
professor's wisdom and enthusiasm, the archetypal power of the
subject matter itself, and the openness of the students converge.?"
?Dr. Christine Downing, author of "The Goddess: Mythological Images
of the Feminine" and "Gods in Our Midst: Mythological Images of the
Masculine" "?A marvelous and unique collection of essays devoted to
re-visioning conceptions of divinity.?" ?Dr. Evans Lansing Smith,
author of "Sacred Mysteries: Myths About Couples in Quest"
