Exploring the concept of the shadow in psychology, Simon Sheridan delves into its archetypal significance in understanding recent societal upheavals in the West, including the Trump and Brexit votes and the COVID-19 pandemic. He argues that the denial of the shadow leads to societal dysfunction, prompting a need for deeper self-awareness. Through this lens, the book seeks to uncover the psychological roots of contemporary issues, offering insights into the collective psyche and its implications for social dynamics.

Against this consensus, Streett argues that the opponents are former Jewish-Christians who have left the community to return to the synagogue after renouncing their belief that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.

Exploring the interplay between civilization and individual development, this sequel delves into the historical roots of psychological drivers shaping modern society. Simon Sheridan builds on insights from renowned scholars like Joseph Campbell and Arnold van Gennep, expanding the archetype concept across various disciplines, including biology and anthropology.
