Christian Radical Thought in the 1970s

By Norman Porter

A radical strand of thought runs through the history of Christianity. It typically unsettles religious and political complacencies; it challenges Christianity's association with power. This strand has been revitalised in recent years through the theologies of hope and liberation. In this short critical study of 1970s' expressions of these theologies, Norman Porter finds insights and flaws in the Christian radical position. He does so by asking whether it is plausible to say that theology is political, that Jesus was radical, and that Christianity and Marxism are compatible.
