This interpretation of the Revelation of St. John invites the reader into man's inner world. Here, St. John contemplates in pictorial and mythical language the most essential problems in religions, such as the nature of man, reality, and evil. As the visions proceed St. John gives up an alienated religion and moves toward ever deeper spirituality culminating in the final illumination. Interpreting the visions much like myths are analyzed in Jungian thought, Dr. Korte compares the images in St. John's visions to those from other religious texts, psychological and philosophical theories, mythology, and yoga literature, as well as from dreams and experiences of modern man. The many quotations from the works of Occidental and Oriental mystics testify that they have used images similar to those of St. John in recounting their own experiences.
