In Guild Lecture No. 59, Dominican theologian Fr. Victor White offers a penetrating assessment of historical Gnosticism at the intersection of Christian theology and Jungian psychology. Evaluating Jung’s fascination with Gnostic symbolism alongside orthodox Christian doctrine, White explores how ancient Gnostic systems reflected direct encounters with the objective unconscious while warning against their radical dualism, world-rejection, and esoteric intellectualism. Written during the pivotal years of White's dialogue with Jung, this paper provides a crucial historical and pastoral analysis of spiritual alienation, the nature of evil, and the psychological dangers of modern neo-Gnosticism.
