Moses And Monotheism Hardcover

More about the book

Freud explores the intricate connections between religion and identity, particularly focusing on the Jewish experience in relation to Christianity. He presents a provocative interpretation of the Moses legend, suggesting that Moses was originally Egyptian and that his teachings, despite his murder in the wilderness, profoundly influenced Jewish faith. This analysis leads to Freud's broader theory of monotheism, shedding light on the evolution of both Judaism and Christianity, and offering insights into the psychological underpinnings of religious belief.
