In this unique book Seven builds on the work of his three volume series; "Magic and Sorcery in the Early Church". It is explained in this latest work that so-called "magic", or, better, Thaumaturgy (wonder-working), is not only a kosher aspect of Jesus' teaching, it is an important part of the Christian's Walk.
The goal of the theurgist or thaumaturge is specifically for the advancement of the Kingdom of God here on this Earth. This is what it means to be co-creators with God: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.” (Matthew: 6.10). In other words, we are working in tune with, and sharing in the unlimited power of, the Creator of the universe.
As demonstrated in this book this concept is a thread that weaves its way throughout both the Hebrew and Christian Bibles.

Peer reviews of our books:
Steve Seven's book; "The Idea of the Archetype", has greatly helped to broaden and deepen my understanding and appreciation of the influential role the instincts, and, thereby the archetypes, play in our psychology. Particularly the role they play in our daily lives and in our interactions with others. This has gone a long way toward helping me to being a more effective agent in the sessions with my clients, helping them to know themselves better and to grasp what is happening for them both personally and interpersonally. I have much appreciation for the work Steve has put in this endeavour.

Steve Seven is adept at explaining the psychological roots of alchemy and other esoteric spiritual disciplines and at placing them in their historical context. His work shows us a valuable path of spiritual progress.

Dear Steve, Your book has good insights and I'm enjoying it. I've found it very informative in defining the broader concept of the archetypes. Kind regards, Bruce.
