Atheism in Christianity (German: Atheismus im Christentum) is a 1968 book by the 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]
Reception[]
Nicholas Lezard of The Guardian called the book "exhilarating to read".[1]
