In this book Dr. Jung, who has been the author of some of the most provocative hypotheses of modern psychology, describes what he regards as the innate religiousness of many people, and the possible continuity of religious forms that have appeared and reappeared through the centuries. Dr. Jungs material is based on actual cases he has treated and is in many ways a continuation of theories that have won him an international reputation.
"To have been a reader of Jung's earlier writings is to anticipate that something of genuine significance will be said whenever he may speak of psychology and religion. ... In this book Jung assures us that he speaks as the physician, not as the philosopher, but this does not hinder him from drawing significant conclusions regarding the importance and nature of religion—its 'psychological truth.'" Clifford Barrett in the New York Times
"In this slender volume we have Jung up-to-date. ... Many ideas about the basic foundations of religious needs and beliefs, and incidentally about mass drives and impulses of our contemporary life, are in these lectures."
William Healy
in the Saturday Review of Literature
"Dr. Jung writes objectively, puts his psychological observations into their historical setting; his sole aim is the integration of human personality." Scientific Book Chub Review
