Myth for Moderns
Erwin Goodenough anticipated recent tendencies to see sex and myth as integrally related to the spiritual life. In this biography, Mattes (English, Wilson College), a friend of the historian of religion, discusses his fundamentalist Methodist upbringing, his introduction to Harvard Divinity School's empiricism, his relationships with Carl Jung and Erik Erikson, and such works as The Church in the Roman Empire, Religious Tradition and Myth, Jewish Symbols in the Greco-Roman Period, and The Psychology of Religious Experience.

Jewish Symbols in the Greco-Roman Period
This volume presents the most important portions of Erwin Goodenough's classic thirteen-volume work, a magisterial attempt to encompass human spiritual history in general through the study of Jewish symbols in particular. Revealing that the Jewish religion of the period was much more varied and complex than the extant Talmudic literature would lead us to believe, Goodenough offered evidence for the existence of a Hellenistic-Jewish mystic mythology far closer to the Qabbalah than to rabbinical Judaism. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Religions in Antiquity
These essays were originally intended for presentation to Professor Erwin Ramsdell Goodenough on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. Before his death, in March, 1965, he knew of our plans for this volume and was gladdened by them.... The editor hopes that these papers, many of which fruitfully utilize Goodenough's scholarship, may contribute to the critical discussion of some problems of concern to him during his lifetime. He can conceive no higher, nor more appropriate, act of reverence for the memory of a beloved teacher and friend. From the Foreword by Jacob Neusner
