Free Online Book Talk · Sacred Disobedience: A Jungian Perspective on the Saga of Pan and the Devil with Religions Studies Professor Dr. Sharon Coggan

In her book Sacred Disobedience, religious studies professor Sharon Coggan traces the history of the ancient Greek God Pan, who became distorted into the image of the Devil in early Christianity. When Pan was demonized, the powerful qualities he represented, became repressed, as Pan’s visage twisted into the model of the Devil, who bears the horns, beard, and the lower body of a goat. This was the goat God, Pan! In this talk, Dr. Coggan will present the fascinating history of a nature god turned symbol of evil as examined through a Jungian lens.
