Under the overall title of "Critique of Heaven and Earth", this
first series of van Leeuwen's Gifford Lectures examines the young
Karl Marx's developing thought. It is intended for those studying
Marx and those involved in Marxist-Christian dialogue, Christian
philosophy occupied a key position in Marx's view of world history
and his confrontation with it played an important role in his
development as a thinker. Van Leeuwen has written a thoughtful
account of this confrontation and of Marx's critiques of religion
which was one of the major themes of his early thought. "It is not
the religious situation as such which preoccupies him during these
early years", van Leeuwen writes, "any more than it is the question
of economics as such which will absorb his attention during the
mature period of his life. The point at stake is an underlying
problem, which lies at the root of the religious as well as the
economic question", - how to alter radically a universal, though
man-made, philosophical or economic system. Van Leeuwen's
exploration of the encounter between the young Marx and
Christianity is a reinterpretation of Marx's thought that points
towards a new view of the religious and economic systems with which
Marx was concerned.
