A Neo-Freudian Critique of Religion. Erich Fromm on the Judeo-Christian Tradiition

  • With the aid of Marx, Erich FROMM has attempted a revision of Freud's view on religion in what he believes to be a more practically realistic and theoretically satisfying direction. His general approach to religion is considered first, then his more detailed socio-psychological interpretations of the idea of God in the Old Testament, the dogma of Christ in early Christian thought and the understanding of salvation in Reformation Protestantism.
