Victor White Met Carl Jung

The shared concern about human spiritual crisis motivated C. G. Jung and Victor White to put great effort into the dialogue between Jungian psychology and Roman Catholic theology, with the hope that their endeavor to modernize Christianity would result in spiritual healing for the contemporary populace. Their dialogue is theoretically grounded on the reality of religious experiences. However, due to their distinct professions and academic backgrounds, they maintained disparate perspectives on God, the intrinsic nature of God, and epistemological matters related to knowing God. Although their attempts to bridge Roman Catholic theology and Jungian psychology failed to achieve the expected results, they provided inspiration for the modernization of religions.
