Erich Fromm contributed to social science mostly by his detailed theory of social character. Besides, he was interested in ethics. Even more — considering Fromm, human nature is strictly connected with ethics. He asks if there is foundation to establish some universal, absolute ethics? What is authority, and is there a connection between authority and ethics, and humanity and ethics? Is character of any relevance to ethics? Is human good, or bad? What is the connection between human nature and social value? Fromm defines therms clearly, and this paper is brief introduction to those terms, and to answers that Fromm gave to upper questions.

In undertaking this study, the writer became aware of the following problem of study method in theology: skepticism indeed is an indispensable part of the theologian’s equipment; he must train himself to be disturtful of anything he sees on the printed page unless there seems good reason to believe that it can be trusted. In our theological culture, the printed word is generally regarded with such excessive respect that the grossest errors in fact may go unchallenged for years until the properly skeptical reader comes along. The above stated problem dictated the formulation of this study with the following purpose in mind: to develop a critical study method in theology. Accordingly, Erich Fromm's thought of religion was criticized from such standpoint in this study.
