As well as the 12 years he spent as a monk in a Catholic religious
order, Moore obtained four degrees: a PhD in religious studies from
Syracuse University, an MA in theology from the University of Windsor,
an MA in musicology from the University of Michigan, and a BA in
music and philosophy from DePaul University.
A writer and psychotherapist, he has been a leading exponent of the
archetypal school of psychology, which seeks to reintroduce a mythic
dimension to the discipline. Other books include The Planets Within,
Rituals of the Imagination, Dark Eros, Café of the Soul, Soul Mates,
and The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life. He also edited A Blue Fire,
an anthology of the writings of James Hillman. More recent works
include The Book of Job (1998), Original Self: Living with Paradox
and Uncertainty (2000), meditations accompanied by woodblock
prints, and The Soul's Religion (2002).
Moore lives in New Hampshire with his wife and two children.
