Freud's study about Moses and monotheistic religion combined Egyptology
and anthropology in a critical analysis of the biblical faith. This book
reviews the Egyptological and anthropological bases of Freud's
arguments. There is also a chapter devoted to Pater Wilhelm Schmidt,
Freud's foremost opponent among anthropologists. The text is
simultaneously a hommage to Freud as well as a critique incorporating
many necessary corrections of his views.
