C.G. Jung and Religion after the Death of God

Friday July 16
10:00 am-12:00pm, 1:00-3:00pm

Instructor: Royce Froehlich, PhD, MDiv, LCSW-R

Friedrich Nietzsche pronounced the death of God by human hands: “we have killed Him.” Yet C.G. Jung, who in many ways stood upon the philosopher’s shoulders, considered the study and engagement of world religions to be indispensable in the psychotherapeutic treatment of individuals, especially in the second half of life. We can ask, along with Jung: Is there religion when there is no living god, or is it rather that “God” is not dead and instead something in us has died?

A master of finding common ground in the major spiritual traditions of the world, Jung would interpret religious rituals and scripture into a psychologically oriented language suitable for contemporary readers to learn from and wrestle with regarding our image(s) of God. Through Jung and contemporary cultural critics, we will engage what may be one of the most important concerns of our time: the interconnectedness of mental health and what can be called a religious, or spiritual, attitude. The intention of this presentation is to broaden our horizons regarding the religious and spiritual background of some of the general theoretical principles--and practical applications--of Jung’s Analytical Psychology.

 The presentation will be augmented by audio-visual aids prepared by the instructor.


Learning Objectives:

  1. To outline some the key concepts in Jung’s Analytical Psychology as they pertain to the religious nature of the human being: homo religiosus.
  2. To discuss some key concepts in Jung’s Analytical Psychology within a context of religious faith.
  3. To assess Jung’s contribution to the understanding of the religious nature of the human psyche the value of his paradigm for clinical treatment.
  4. To describe how Jung’s personal life experiences influenced his theoretical understanding of psychological phenomena.
