“Originally written in 1993, the English translation of Enrique Dussel’s The Theological Metaphors of Marx could not be more relevant today. Drawing from Marx’s less known and mature work, Dussel reveals how theology became a cog of capitalism and colonial domination, and, relatedly, how theology-based criticism becomes a critique of politics and human existence past-present. A crucial text for understanding the rapid rise of the Christian Right throughout the world and for undertaking theological decolonization as an ethics of liberation.” -- Catherine E. Walsh, author of * Rising Up, Living On: Re-existences, Sowings, and Decolonial Cracks *

Walsh, author of * Rising Up, Living On: Re-existences, Sowings, and Decolonial Cracks * “Enrique Dussel provides an exemplary methodology to navigate the rising critique of the secular and appeals to post-secularity. He offers a sophisticated exploration of the extent to which Christian theology, Biblical narratives, and Christian discourses served as both references and scaffolding for nineteenth-century philosophy and political economy and a strong argument for a Christian theology that is informed and infused by Marx’s critique of capitalism. Dussel’s deep knowledge of the history of Christianity, the history of modern philosophy, and his acute hermeneutical abilities are in full display in this text.” -- Nelson Maldonado-Torres, author of * Against War: Views from the Underside of Modernity *
