Atheism in Christianity (German: Atheismus im Christentum) is a 1968 book by Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch. The book offers a third way to the Christian/atheist either/or debate. Gareth Jenkins from Socialist Review says that Bloch "argues that there are liberatory, 'atheist' elements within Christianity with which socialists should make common cause."
Critical reaction
Nicholas Lezard of The Guardian called it "exhilarating to read".
