Erich Fromm in Hebrew Bible Research. With a Side Glance at Religious Studies

  • Erich Fromm, the author of >You Shall Be as Gods< and many other well-known works, not only made references to the Hebrew Bible in his writing but also provided lengthy interpretations of the biblical texts themselves. In this paper, I aim to evaluate the influence of the works of Erich Fromm on how exegetes and other scientists interpret the Hebrew Bible. In the conclusion of this paper, I call for further research on the possible applications of Erich Fromm's ideas on Hebrew Bible interpretations. I suggest that Erich Fromm's ideas could help to solve problems of the psalms, vengeance and violence in the Bible, and I also claim that the application of Fromm's model of social character could contribute (from a psychodynamic perspective) to ongoing research on Israel's religious history as well as our understanding of religious symbol systems in general.
