Summary: Intellectual but pleasant confusion
Comment: Reading Freud is always a pleasure, especially his essays on Religion and Culture. His style is so refined and clear, that I have often wondered if it wasn't one of the reasons for the wide approval he received. The strange thing in reading about the origin of a religion is that it confuses and forces you to start from 'tabula rasa'. Being raised a Catholic, I can't help but 'subconciously believing' Jewish religion older than Moses, whereas Freud claims that he started it. But the confusion is very enlightening and intellectually tantalizing. Although much of his views on the Egyptian origin of the name 'Moses' have been scientifically doubted, the book is still powerful enough to make you think. And that, I believe, is a rare quality.

Summary: Moses Legend Revealed
Comment: An outstanding and audacious book.
Not to many people have knowledge of this subject on Freud's writings.
It is amazing to notice the author's courage exposing thesis where he attempt to prove or at least to demonstrate that Moses was an Egyptian and not a Jew.
The argument of the existence of two Moses the one from Egypt and the other from Midia, a Medianite, is also surprising although in any way fanciful.
In some bookstores this book is incorrectly classified in the psych area. This is truly a Bible history research, of course using an approach that places, in his words, religion phenomena as a model of neurotic symptoms of the individual.
As I mentioned in other book comment, this kind of study always carries some dose of speculation. Freud was not an exception but without lost of plausibility.

Summary: I never knew...
Comment: I did not know all of this about Freud, and I just remember being in the bookstore, loving the cover, realizing he was who wrote it and I had to get it, and I loved it. Loved it. It is a pretty fast read, but I did end up reading it more than once to really grasp it...I think I might start reading it again now...
