Karl Marx I will begin by examining Marxs critique of religion (or of Christianity, for besides the unclear and anti-Semitic article On the Jewish Question, Marx confined his remarks to the dominant religion in the Europe of his day, and the religion of his own upbringing). This will set the stage for a fuller discussion of Miranda and the use of Marx by liberation theology. Jos Porfirio Miranda is among this first generation of liberation theologians, and his Marx and the Bible (1971) an important contribution, from a formidable scholar, to the cause of radical Christianity.

Even if one doesn't agree with what he says, what he says (and many other 'Liberation Theologians' from countries other than that of the West) needs to be heard. This is a good place to start.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. The following exposition – a contribution to this undertaking – concerns itself not directly with the original but with a copy, with the German philosophy of the state and of law. The only reason for this is that it is concerned with Germany.

I agree with everything the previous reviewer said. I just wanted to add this book is as good as A Theology of Liberation by Gutierrez and God of the Oppressed by Cone. It is awesome. Shows how interhuman justice is the main theme of the bible, from the exodus, psalms, prophets, gospels, the definition of righteousness in the epistles and revelations. On a sidenote, Jose Miranda is spanish and the spanish word for righteousness in the new testament is "justicia" which is justice. Many english speaking christians read about righteousness and presume personal piety is the main theme of the NT instead of justice. Big problem in christianity between the personal pietists and social gospel wings which could be resolved if we rightly defined "righteousness" and understood it as justice. Being and the Messiah is also a great book by Dr. Jose Miranda.

This is an excellent English translation of Religion Professor Jose P. Miranda's work originally written in Spanish. The translation is published by Orbis Books of Maryknoll. Miranda's writing is to explain aspects of First Century Christianity using modern terminology, thereby making it relevant. He cites Marx expressly indicating that his writings were to restore the values of First Century Christianity. This view is at variance with the common view. Miranda thoroughly documents his position from the original writings. Prof. Miranda writes in an engaging style intended to persuade by providing masses of evidence.

Great book...really needed today. Very Biblcal.

Not a fast read. Reads like a text book. Not something you want to take the the doctor's office to read while you are in the waiting room. You need a quiet place and it helps to have a bible near you to refer to. Having said all that, it's worth reading.

I picked this book up on a whim several years ago and read through it once and it altered my Biblical paradigm quite a bit (although that shift lacked the substance necessary to speak in anything but generalities). I have recently revisited it and studied it more in depth and am convinced that this book nails down what is so radical about Biblical faith. It brings it back down to earth and reveals how relevant, and necessary, this faith is in the world.

Contrary to the title, the book is not about how Marxism is Biblically justifiable nor is it to say that the Bible is really Marxist. While there are similarities in social outlook, the two do not become one.

This book makes the claim that the essence of the faith in Yahweh is rooted in justice to the oppressed. As I work with the homeless in my community, my idea of the essence of the Biblical faith has also been radically altered. My experience coincides with what he says in this book.

While other faiths may have been metaphysically similar and other faiths may have been 'religious', the Hebrews were called to something radically new -- a faith that impels them to seek justice for those who have formerly not had a voice.

The book reads like a textbook and is thick (and I mean thick) with exegesis. It is rooted directly in the author's work in his native country with the poor. Reading Scripture through the lens of the poor and from a non-Western filter leads to a radical reading of the Bible.

His exegesis on faith, justice and law is remarkable and should be read and digested. Even if one doesn't agree with what he says, what he says (and many other 'Liberation Theologians' from countries other than that of the West) needs to be heard. This is a good place to start.

Update: I still revisit this book almost ten years after this review was written. This book turned me on to the prophets as something more than just fortune tellers (which is traditionally, it seems, how they are understood...that or a bunch of downers...). If I had one critique it would be that this work rises and falls on the Documentary Hypothesis. I don't have the background to analyze how it holds up in light of modifications to the theory as he understood it but it is significant as he consistenly uses it in his argumentation.

I've seen varying critiques of this book, some of which reveal, as Walter Brueggemann calls it, the 'royal consciousness' of many churchified folks. It's not easy to see the water in which you swim.

That being said, the book is still an eye opener as to how easy it is to dilute meaning over time in the light of different cultures. From the original use of a term to its development over time through the Septuagint and into the New Testament and into a Church rooted in a more 'western' culture, his effort in trying to determine actual meaning in context is well worth the adventure.
