World Christianity and Marxism

Denis Janz argues that the encounter with Marxism--our age's dominant form of secularism--has been the defining event for twentieth-century Christianity. No other worldview shook Christianity more seriously and no other movement has had as profound an impact on so many. Now, at the end of the cold war and as we approach the end of the century, says Janz, it is time to ask ourselves what happened. To take the full measure of this historical encounter, the author offers case studies of seven very different contexts: the United States, the Soviet Union, Poland, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, and Albania. The experiences of these countries vary widely, from Poland where Christianity maintained its strongest independence, and Nicaragua where a Christian alliance with Marxism contributed to revolutionary change, to Albania where a Stalinist government attempted to abolish religion entirely. From this survey emerges the evidence that Christianity's encounter with this alien world of thought has changed it in permanent and profound ways.
