Marxism and religion: a description and assessment of the marxist critique of Christianity
"Mclellan, David"
Marxism and religion: a description and assessment of the marxist critique of Christianity - London Macmillan Press 1987 - 209p.
Marx called religion 'the opium of the people'. Yet in contemporary Latin America (and elsewhere) many Christians are happy to embrace Marxist ideas. What contribution Marxist analysis and religious faith can make to the troubled politics of our age is obviously of vital concern. This book examines the various Marxist attitudes towards religion as they have evolved over the last century and, in a substantial conclusion, assesses the overall validity of the
Marxist critique of religion. As both a practising Catholic and a leading expert on Marx and Marxism, David McLellan is exceptionally well qualified to provide an informed assessment of one of the most important issues of our time.
