You Shall Be as Gods: A Radical Interpretation of the Old

You Shall Be as Gods: A Radical Interpretation of the Old Testament and Its Tradition

Erich Frommâ€™s innovative analysis of the Old Testament as a striking early example of radical humanism

The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the worldâ€™s history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the worldâ€™s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankindâ€™s transition from divided clans to united brotherhood as a tribute to the human power to overcome. Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be As Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential.
