The second series of van Leeuwen's Gifford Lectures examines the
young Karl Marx's developing thought, of importance to those
studying Marx and those involved in Marxist-Christian dialogue. The
author examines the "transmutation" from the critique of heaven
into the critique of earth. His thesis is that Marx's critique of
religion is seen not in his opposition to "religion", but in his
ideas on political economy. This thesis is undergirded with
analysis of Marx's critique of political economy from 1842 to "Das
Kapital". Marx's biography works itself out at three levels of
critique: from religion via politics to political economy. "Das
Kapital" sums up the whole of Marx's thought. The analysis of the
"mystical character of commodities" is both the key to the critique
of Christianity, "with its cult of abstract man", and the key to
the critique of political economy, the fetishism of which "emerges
clear as the noon-day, whenever it has to do with capital".
