The Dogma of Christ

And Other Essays on Religion, Psychology and Culture

About this book

"Fromm's developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future." — The Washington Post
The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm's work.
The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm's ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior.
"It's the new post-religious theme song. The Fromm exhortations are imaginative and he has a definite audience." — Kirkus Reviews
"Of all the psychological theorists who have tried to formulate a system better than Freud's to approach problems of contemporary life, no one has been more creative or influential than Erich Fromm. He is the most articulate advocate on the role of social forces in molding our character and on our manner of relating to others. This volume is an expansion of his systematic doctrine." —Louis L. Lunsky, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine
