The Politics of Religious Studies
It's remarkable that this very measured, very careful attempt to restore Jung to his proper place in the history of early twentieth-century mysticism has aroused so much hostility. Far from being particularly provocative, the book is, if anything, rather undramatic. However, Noll does a good job of explaining Ariosophy and Jung's connection with it, and the information about his and his disciples' anti-scientific, cultish behaviour is useful and revealing. A refreshing change from the all-too-often uncritical acceptance of the ideas of Jung and his followers (such as Joseph Campbell) which one encounters these days.
