About the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell. Editor's foreword - Eugene Kennedy. 1 Metaphor and religious mystery. 2 The experience of religious mystery. 3 Our notions of God. 4 The religious imagination and the rules of traditional theology. 5 Symbols of the Judeo-Christian tradition. 6 Understanding the symbols of Judeo-Christian spirituality. 7 Question period. Appendix--A discussion: Earthrise--the dawning of a new spiritual awareness
'...Here Campbell explores the common symbols of the Western religions, holding them to the light and reinterpreting them in the context of his remarkable knowledge of world mythology. For Campbell, our central confusion lies between literal and metaphorical interpretations of religious stories. Campbell re-examines the rightful function of Judeo-Christian symbols: as keys to spiritual understanding and mystical revelation.'
