Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: This book dives right into something that is ignored by even most critics of Marx - his satanic roots.Marx, like Engels, both were involved in satanic teachings of "the communist rabbi" Moses Hess. He wrote a number of satanic poems. In fact, his doctoral thesis was entitled "I hate all the gods." Marx was delving into satanism long before he knew anything about economics. He had no knowledge of the plight of the working man or "proletariat" at that time. One of the critics of this book says that it is just anti-semetic and rediculous. Interestingly, if you look at that same critic's other reviews, his other reviews are for the band T.S.O.L which is an L.A. "death rock" band which he favorably compares to early Christian Death. His other reviews are for the band "Death Church" (which he likes) and "Jesuseater." It's pretty hard to take a guy like that serious in a review of a book about satanism and Marx. Anyway, this book sheds quite a bit of light on the topic of Marx's turn to satanism during his school years. Marx's poetry about desiring to destroy the world and take the place of the creator is downright haunting.

Summary: an anti-semetic text
Review: This sad book deosn't have any literary qualities whatsoever. This is pure Anti-semetic drivel full of ultra christian rhetoric from the extreme right. Marx was a philosopher and an idealist, this book doesnt examine him in anyway whatseoever it just descends into religious rants.

Summary: Important, Insightful, Incomplete
Review: Wurmbrand's short and very readable book about the spiritual tendencies of the founder of communism is both revealing relative to the subject, Karl Marx, and to the author himself. We all have our perspectives, which necessarily color our presentations. And Wurmbrand's is that of a man raised as a Jew who converted to Christianity later in life. In this, he shares a certain similarity with many whose conversion may seem to be something rather less than complete. This factor manifests itself in his quite interesting treatment of Moses Hess, whom the author credits with planting the seeds of both communism and what he describes as an ungodly form of zionism. To this, the authentic Christian must ask, "Is there a godly form of zionism?" The answer is, of course, no!
This notwithstanding, Wurmbrand's book is interesting, important, and insightful. We only wish that it could have been a bit more candid with regard to his depiction of Hess, who argued that both the race and the class struggles would be dispositive of mankind's future. Hess saw the race struggle manifested in zionism and the class struggle in communism. In any case, Wurmbrand perceived Marx as a tortured and spiritually conflicted man, who has done ever so much more harm than good. And to his everlasting credit, Wurmbrand quite correctly holds that the future hope for this fallen world is embodied in the love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Give this book a read with an open heart and an open mind and be enriched.
