Author - Jose P. Miranda
Robert R. Barr S.J.

"Miranda will not be pigeonholed by the academy. It is to be strongly hoped that he is taken seriously, for there is in his writing the kind of discernment which may reform and renew Scripture study."

Walter Brueggemann, Professor of Old Testament, Eden Theological Seminary


"This book, like the liberation theologies generally (Latin American, Black, feminist), challenges traditional 'intentional misunderstandings' of the Scripture by established powers. It allows familiar biblical passages, such as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, to speak out with their original force and clarity—and the message sounds astonishingly new! An excellent translation by Robert Barr."

Madeleine Boucher, Associate Professor of New Testament, Fordham University


"Jose Miranda's book is an extremely valuable statement, which advances the discussion of biblical economics to a new stage. Miranda minces no words in exposing the exegetical sleight-of-hand attempted by 'conscience-tranquillizing theologians.' His passionate and informed defense of 'Christian communism' will have to be reckoned with by all who have professed a willingness to be obedient to the Gospel."

Richard J. Mouw, Professor of Philosophy, Calvin College


"A scholarly study in biblical teaching—brief, direct, powerful—which puts the burden of proof on those who would deny that original and authentic Christianity is communistic (not, to say, Marxist). This is vintage Miranda—erudite, passionate, persuasive, and above all, disturbing."

Robert T. Osborn, Chairman, Department of Religion, Duke University
