The search for the lost soul
An “interview” with Murray Stein about C. G. Jung's Red Book
By Robert S. HendersonEnglish
The Red Book is an edited version of Jung’s active imaginations, inner dialogues, musings, and private thoughts that he recorded in his Black Book notebooks. Through it, we see Jung’s search for his soul. This “enterview” contains Murray Stein’s initial reactions to The Red Book, including some of the things he never knew, for instance, that Jung named the Red Book, Liber Novus, and how many references there are to the figure of Christ. Stein comments on what he felt were Jung’s feelings about publishing the Red Book. There is also elaboration on what the Red Book says about Jung’s understanding of God.
