Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
In 1927's The Future of an Illusion, Sigmund Freud predicted that the "illusion" of religion had no future and would be abandoned by modern society. But Freud is long dead, may he rest in peace, and religion is still very much around. In Freud and Freudians on Religion: A Reader, Donald Capps of Princeton Theological Seminary pulls together some of Freud's most famous thoughts on religion and also reprints essays by five of the psychoanalyst's intellectual heirs, including Erik Erikson and Julia Kristeva. This is a useful, well-organized collection.

Review
"This reader of works by Freud and the post-Freudians on religion is a valuable text for courses. There is nothing like it currently available." James W. Jones, Rutgers University"

5.0 out of 5 stars Freud is sharp on religion, November 26, 2006
This is an excellent introduction to Freudian perspectives on religion. The introduction to Freud's thought is clear and the selections from Freud's writings are good ones. The book has a number of good essays (in addition to Freud's). There is, for example, an exceptionally interesting essay by David Bacan on the book of Job. The only weakness in the book is that other early psychonanalysts contemporary with Freud (such as Otto Rank) are not represented in the anthology. In other words, the text samples the writings of Freud and then jumps to the writings of psychoanalysts working after 1950. But something I especially like about this anthology is the psychological connections it makes between art and religion.
