This collection of essays responds to the recently published book Teaching Jung, edited by Kelly Bulkeley and Clodagh Weldon. Celia Brickman's essay highlights some of the reasons (e.g., arcane terminology, insular theorizing) Jungian psychology has limited appeal in mainstream academia. Christopher Ross, a contributor to the book, describes his personal and professional journey toward a deeper understanding of Jung's psychology and its relevance for religious studies. A. Gregory Schneider discusses the challenges of teaching psychology and religion to the students of a Seventh-Day Adventist college, as well as the potential relevance of Jungian thought in that effort.
