Publisher's Note "The Jungian teaching of the archetypes adds a new point of view and an interesting dimension.... This is an original and fascinating book". -- Shimon Peres
Industry Reviews "I was deeply impressed by the way the image of Abraham our father is presented, foremost as a symbol--the father of our nation and the bearer of the monotheistic faith and beyond that as a human being, with a private way of life, feelings and doubts. The Jungian teaching of the archetypes adds a new point of view and an interesting dimension....This is an original and fascinating book." Publisher's Catalog - Shimon Peres
