Moses and Monotheism

In this compelling audiobook, Freud explores psychoanalytic theory through three essays that reinterpret the historical figure of Moses. He posits that Moses, contrary to biblical accounts, was of Ancient Egyptian nobility and a follower of the monotheist Akhenaten. Freud presents a retelling of events where Moses leads a group of followers to freedom only to be ultimately murdered by them, an act that gives rise to the concept of the Messiah and the enduring guilt among the Jewish people, influencing their spiritual journey.
