Atheism in Christianity: The Religion of the Exodus and the Kingdom (German: Atheismus im Christentum: Zur Religion des Exodus und des Reichs) is a 1968 book by German Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch.[1][2] The book offers a third way to the Christian/atheist either/or debate. Gareth Jenkins from Socialist Review says that Bloch "argues that there are liberatory, 'atheist' elements within Christianity with which socialists should make common cause."[3]
Context
[edit]Bloch engaged with a Christian-Marxist intellectual dialogue group organized by Milan Machovec and others in 1960s Communist Czechoslovakia.[4] His Atheism in Christianity echoed in Machovec's 1969 book Jesus for Modern Man (Ježíš pro moderního člověka), published in German in 1972 as Jesus für Atheisten.
