The Archetypal Significance of Gilgamesh
A Jungian psychoanalytical interpretation of the Gilgamesh Epic.
The Gilgamesh Epic
It was at the instigation of C.G. Jung that Dr. Kluger undertook the interpretation of the Gilgamesh epic, the oldest known epic-myth. Rich in poetic imagery and archetypal content, it has not lost its meaning for modern man. In this book, based primarily on her seminars at the Zurich Jung Institute, Dr. Kluger deals with the psychological significance of the hero-king's fateful adventures. In her vivid yet scholarly presentation, she brings alive the implications of the fascinating episodes of this myth both on a personal and on a collective level; the changes of individual consciousness, and its reactions to unconscious (archetypal) contents, the evolving process of individuation, and the development of religion. Using modern dreams and examples from analytic practice, she shows the relevance of this ancient myth for today's world and its concerns, from sexuality and homosexuality, the role of the feminine and the still living goddess Ishtar, to the current spiritual search of contemporary mankind.

Old Testament Wisdom
When Old Testament Wisdom appeared in 1981, new perspectives on biblical theology, an increasing awareness of ancient Near Eastern texts resembling biblical wisdom, and an emerging interest in ethnic proverbs were mere intimations of what was to become a dramatic outpouring of scholarship on wisdom literature. In this expanded edition, James Crenshaw takes stock of the wealth of new material produced by contemporary interpreters. Liberation and feminists critics, scholars in comparative religion, specialists in devotional theology, and researchers exploring educational systems in the ancient Near East all have enriched our understanding of wisdom literature in recent years, and all receive insightful treatment in this new volume. Now as before, Crenshaw's Old Testament Wisdom is an invaluable asset for anyone wishing to understand the rich and complex legacy of wisdom literature.
Psyche in Scripture
The Old Testament is the written record of profound religious experiences, and in this sense "inspired". The awesome events recounted in the Bible inform the spiritual stance of Western culture to this day, and they contain important clues about destiny, not only past but future. As our understanding broadens, our sense of membership in a global community may supersede the specific religious lessons of our early years. But we cannot simply shrug off our inner history without damage to the soul. Rather we must try to grasp the symbolic content of our psychic heritage, as Dr. Kluger does in this volume. The first three essays here, originally published in 1974 under the title Psyche and Bible, have become classics in the field. Two of the author's later essays on individuation symbolism, and a comprehensive index, have been added to make Psyche in Scripture.
Wisdom Has Built Her House
This volume includes an original contribution by Marie-Louise von Franz, as well as other essays on Jungian Psychology. The main focus is upon aspects of the feminine and their psychological interpretation.
Wisdom has Built her House - Psychological Aspects of the Feminine
For the house of wisdom that already exists in the beyond – in the unconscious – to truly manifest within an individual human being, the whole of a person is required, along with all their four psychic functions of consciousness. This encounter with wholeness – with the divine – is a shocking event that leaves both parties – the human and the divine – renewed. The cover image of this volume portrays precisely this kind of event. It was painted by a Sicilian artist, Antonello da Messina (15th century) and it depicts l’Annunciata, The Annunciation of Mary, the fateful moment in which Mary encounters the Archangel Gabriel and becomes aware of her destiny. The angel is not depicted...
