Starting from Romans 7:19, he demonstrates that \"evil\" is not an external force that dominates us, but a part of ourselves that calls for reconciliation. Freud, Jung, Viktor Frankl, Byung-Chul Han, and other thinkers dialogue here with Paul of Tarsus in a language that unites science and mystery, reason and faith, analysis and prayer. Through clinical cases, reflections, and personal experiences, the book reveals that grace is not a doctrine, but a state of consciousness-the moment when we stop fighting against ourselves and begin to understand who we are. A vigorous, dense, and transformative essay on the unconscious, guilt, desire, and freedom. An invitation for each reader to recognize, in the \"evil they don't want,\" the mirror of their own humanity-and to discover that it is precisely there that the possibility of healing resides. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCentral Thesis\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe conflict between the good we desire and the evil we do is not a moral failing, but a structure of human consciousness. True liberation-psychological and spiritual-is born when the subject recognizes this conflict as part of their totality and transforms it into wisdom. In other words: grace is lucidity in the face of one's own shadow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTarget Audience Scholars and professionals in psychology, philosophy, and theology; Readers of contemporary spirituality and profound self-knowledge; Therapists, educators, and religious leaders interested in understanding human nature beyond morality and dogma; Readers of authors such as Rubem Alves, Jung, Frankl, James Hollis, Byung-Chul Han, and Thomas Moore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features of the Work\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Unprecedented integration between the Bible and psychoanalysis without religious or scientistic reductionism; Direct references to Freud, Jung, Frankl, Han, Neff, Winnicott, and Lacan, in dialogue with Paul of Tarsus and the Christian tradition; Clinical and narrative cases illustrating the psychic dynamics of guilt, desire, and self-compassion; Practical application: inner transformation, ethics of care, self-knowledge, and reconciliation with one's own shadow; Essayistic and literary style - dense yet accessible language, aimed at both the academic reader and the spiritual seeker.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47779095511191,"sku":"9798274434133","price":1092.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798274434133.webp?v=1778033370","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-evil-i-dont-want-a-psychoanalytic-reading-of-romans-7-19-9798274434133","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
