Feuerbach and the Interpretation of Religion (Cambridge Studies in Religion and Critical Thought, Series Number 1) (Volume 0) by Harvey, Van A.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521586306.

Ludwig Feuerbach is best known as the author of a sensational criticism of Christianity in the mid-nineteenth century. Although some scholars regard this criticism of Christianity as important in its own right, most view it as pertinent because of its anticipation of the views of Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud. Harveys book argues that this is an inadequate interpretation of Feuerbachs significance. By exploring works of Feuerbach that have been virtually ignored, he convincingly demonstrates their contemporary relevance.
