Atheism in Christianity by Ernst Bloch
Presents an historical examination of Christianity in an attempt to find its social roots. This book offers a detailed study of the Bible and its long standing fascination for 'ordinary and unimportant' people.
Ernst Bloch is the one mainly responsible for restoring honour to the word 'utopia' -- Theodor Adorno
Bloch is not so much a Marxist philosopher ... as he is rather a 'theologian of the revolution.' -- Fredric Jameson
Atheism in Christianity contends that the raging prophets were more the friends of humanity than the 'positivist eunuchs' of official atheism-and the case for prophecy and rage is made amply in this heady, dizzying book. -- Owen Hatherley * New Humanist *
