Review Quotes: "That Henry Corbin was one of the great religious thinkers of the 20th century will be apparent to all who delve into this brilliant collection of his previously unpublished writings on Carl Jung and Buddhism, the gnostic Sophia, and Sufism. Corbin's insights into the profound roots of Jung's teachings make this essential reading for those who ponder the ties that bind psychology and spirituality and all the great religious traditions to one another."-- "Jeff Zaleski, editor and publisher of Parabola magazine"
