From Moses to Monotheism
Book •
Sigmund Freud's 'Moses and Monotheism' delves into the origins of monotheism and its connection to Moses and the Jewish people.

He argues that the religion underwent significant transformations, including the murder of Moses and the subsequent development of guilt and repression.
The book combines psychoanalysis with historical and religious analysis, offering a unique perspective on the development of religious beliefs and their psychological impact.
Freud's exploration of guilt, trauma, and collective memory provides a complex interpretation of Jewish history and monotheistic religion.
