Erich Fromm'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 worldâs history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the worldâs three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankindâs 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.
