ABSTRACT

This is Volume V of six in the Psychology and Religion series. First published in 1954, this is a religious-psychological study of the father-son relationship. It represents a re-evaluation of the Oedipus Complex and is based on the exposition of the twenty-second chapter of Genesis, the Sacrifice of Isaac. The thesis of the study is that phenomena described in the Bible provide a unique contribution to psychological truth.
