My Brother Paul
Paul as a radical Jewish mystic whose insights often anticipate the world of twentieth-century psychoanalysis.
Our Divine Double
What if you were to discover that you were only one half of a whole—that you had a divine double? In the second and third centuries CE, Charles Stang shows, this idea gripped the religious imagination of the Eastern Mediterranean, offering a distinctive understanding of the self that has survived in various forms down to the present.
