Information About

Moses And Monotheism




In ''Moses and Monotheism'', Freud contradicts the Biblical story of Moses with his own retelling of events claiming that Moses only led his close followers into freedom, and that they subsequently killed Moses in rebellion either to his strong faith or to circumcision. Freud explains that years after the murder of Moses the rebels formed a religion which promoted Moses as the Saviour of the Israelites . Freud said that the Guilt from the murder of Moses is inherited through the generations; this guilt then drives the Jews to Religion to make them feel better.
