Jungian Gnosticism
The following article and tape, as well as excerpts from Leanne Payne's books,
critique the phenomena of gnosticism, and its 20th and 21st century entrance into Christian thought.
This has come about primarily through a deadly synthesis of Jungianism (the psychology inspired by
C.G. Jung) with Christianity, and has been steadily moving forward, beginning with its entrance
into Roman Catholic and Episcopal renewal in the mid 20th century and onward from there into the
heart of Evangelicalism. The dangerous repercussions of this cannot be overstated. We are pleased
to offer the following resources on this important and on-going controversy:

In this article, psychiatrist Jeffrey Satinover, shows how Carl Jung's theory of archetypes
has become an example of modern paganism. He analyses Jung’s Gnostic beliefs and
shows how these beliefs influenced that theory. He describes how the theory confuses and
blinds people regarding the true nature of evil allowing them to conclude
that good and evil are equal and opposite forces.
In addition, Satinover writes that Jung's theory of archetypes, when limited
to the domain of psychology, is useful to understanding the soul. But notes that
it is all too easily spiritualized, encouraging worship of the soul, becoming in
its own right truly a modern Gnosticism.
