Written work
Myth and Ritual in Christianity
A mythic and symbolic reading of the liturgical year and the Christian stories — creation, incarnation, passion, resurrection — in the light of comparative mythology and Asian philosophy. Watts laments that modern Christianity lost the meaning of these rites by taking them as literal history or as morality.
