Moses and Monotheism Study Guide

Moses and Monotheism by Sigmund Freud

Moses and Monotheism is a monograph written by Sigmund Freud and purporting to look at Ancient Egypt and the formation of Judaism through a psychoanalytical lens. Freud posits that Moses was an Egyptian noble associated with the Pharaoh Akhenaten, an early monotheist, or that he was the Pharaoh himself. He further imagines Moses's death at the hands of his own believers and their guilt, passed on down generations, as the catalyst for continued religious observation.
