Features: This book contains Freud's various thoughts on religion, and on this basis, he explains some characteristics in the relationship between Jews and Christians. Through an in-depth study of the Moses legend, Freud reached a startling conclusion: Moses himself was an Egyptian, and the religion he passed on to the Jews was brought from Egypt. Freud accepted the hypothesis that Moses was murdered in the wilderness, but he believed that Moses remained in the hearts of the Israelites, and Moses' religious doctrines ultimately prevailed. Freud developed his theory on the origin of religion, proposing new interpretations of the development of Judaism and Christianity.
