Contending that Marxism achieved its unique position in part by adopting the content and functions of Christianity, MacIntyre details the religious attitudes and modes of belief that appear in Marxist doctrine as it developed historically from the philosophies of Hegel and Feuerbach, and as it has been carried on by latter-day interpreters from Rosa Luxemburg and Trotsky to Kautsky and Lukacs. The result is a lucid exposition of Marxism and an incisive account of its persistence and continuing importance.

“. . . a very fine work on the intersection of Marxist and Christian teaching. . . . MacIntyre provides a very useful summary of Marx’s philosophical forebears, and his development from them. His summary of Marx’s teaching on history and the changes from his earlier to his later writing is quite fair, and a good introduction to the thought of Marx. . . . It really does bring together Marxism and Christianity in such a way that they may both contribute to and criticize each other.” —Catholic Library World

Alasdair MacIntyre (1929–2025) was permanent senior distinguished research fellow at the de Nicola Center of Ethics and Culture and the Rev. John A. O’Brien senior research professor of philosophy emeritus at the University of Notre Dame. He authored numerous books over the course of his career, including After Virtue, Whose Justice? Which Rationality?, and Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry, all also published by the University of Notre Dame Press.
