Abstract

This paper examines the conceptual convergence between Trinitarian theology and Jungian depth psychology by analyzing the claim that the human soul is intrinsically ordered toward wholeness and divine indwelling. It argues that interpreting the Holy Spirit as the theological fulfillment of the psyche’s integrative drive is internally coherent within its respective metaphysical frameworks, while ultimately depending on one’s commitments regarding revelation, theological anthropology, and divine-human participation.
