In Guild Lecture No. 11, English mystic and religious scholar Charlotte E. Woods offers a perceptive wartime study re-evaluating the Christian concept of sin through the lens of early analytical psychology. Moving beyond legalistic moralism, Woods defines sin (hamartia) as psychological fragmentation and ego-isolation from the divine centre of the soul. Demonstrating how repressed shadow impulses fuel moral hypocrisy when left unexamined, she draws on Christian mysticism and depth psychology to argue that true redemption requires conscious integration, inner wholeness, and spiritual alignment with the imago Dei.
