Hi again.

I've read the article now. I agree that it supports what you said.

Much as I hate to say this for fear of appearing to get above myself, it's possible that even Campbell and Jung can get things wrong sometimes. I'm going to hold back from further comment on that point, because I'm away from home at the moment, and would like to read the Jung and von Franz quotes in context when I get back.

I find the Campbell quote especially strange, since myths and allegories can have several levels of interpretation. It all depends exactly what he means by 'psychological'. I don't have that book, so don't know if he means it in the conventional modern usage, or the Jungian.

In any case, they can all be forgiven, because it all depends what version of the Bible they are reading. If one reads modern versions, especially those by Christian scholars, then there are some mistranslations which can easily lead to misinterpretations. The outcome is then likely to be that only a psychological interpretation is required.

All this is forcing me to put together an article I've been contemplating for some time. Will keep you informed.
