Jean Houston examines the psychological and mythological meaning of the Christ story, retelling the life of Jesus from the inside out and opening the reader to the challenge of "being Christ." Dr. Houston draws from philosophy, mythology, Jungian psychology, mysticism, anthropology, new science, and just plain creativity to present the familiar gospel stories in a new light. Focusing on experiencing the Christ life, exercises are presented which can be done individually or with a group, including creative arts, movement and dance, ritual and ceremony, drama and high play. Readers will experience the story of the Christ happening right now in the heart.
