Psychoanalysis and Theism

Meer over het boek

The book critiques psychoanalysis in relation to religion, beginning with Adolf Grünbaum's essay that surprisingly endorses certain classical psychoanalytic concepts. Following this, nine prominent scholars provide critical insights into Freud's theories, exploring their underlying motivations and the implications for religious studies. They examine psychoanalytic perspectives on doctrines such as the Virgin Birth, highlighting the potential for deeper understanding of religious beliefs through psychoanalytic frameworks.
