Stephan Hoeller’s The Gnostic Jung sits at the intersection of analytical psychology and esoteric Christianity.

Centred on Jung’s enigmatic Seven Sermons to the Dead (1916), the book reads that strange, visionary text as a modern expression of ancient Gnostic myth.

Hoeller, himself a scholar of Gnosticism and a cleric within that tradition, situates Jung within a lineage of heretical metaphysics concerned with duality, emanation, and the problem of the created world. The tone is interpretive rather than devotional, though it will appeal most to readers already comfortable moving between depth psychology and religious symbolism.

A period piece of late-20th-century esoteric scholarship, but still a useful map of Jung’s more occult terrain.
