Meditations on Archetypal Images in Christian Theology

Behind the doctrine of Christ, who is thought of in the image of the Good Shepherd, there is not only pan, the god of ’pastoral’ care, but also Polyphemos, the one-eyed monster. Behind Christ the Great Teacher there is not only Socrates, but also Silenos, lying drunk in a deep cave of myth. The images, the shades of the gods, are explored in their contemporary imaginal versions.
