The Dogma of Christ, Erich Fromm

The Dogma of Christ and other essays on Religion, psychology and culture,  Erich Fromm

A new book by Erich Fromm is a major event for that large general audience that is alive to the discoveries of modern psychology and psychoanalysis, and wishes to preserve a basic humanistic concern against both rigid theorists and popular faddists. The long title essay, comprising about one-third of the book, appears for the first time in English and is a major addition to the Fromm literature. The author approaches the dogma of Christ with the tempered awareness of the insights that a discriminating use of the findings of psychoanalysis and social history may provide. His projection of the concept of fatherhood found in psychoanalysis to the experience of early Christianity, with its emphasis on the role of the son and the doctrine of a God made man, will provoke wide comment, and is a major contribution to the current literature on religion and psychology. Other essays discuss The Prophetic Concept of Peace, On the Limitations and Dangers of Psychology, Medicine and the Ethical Problem of Modern Man, The Present Human Condition, Sex and Character, etc.
