The Fragile Absolute:

Or, Why is the Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For?
Front Cover
14 Reviews
Verso, 2001 - Philosophy - 182 pages

Here is a fitting contribution from a Marxist to the 2000th anniversary of one who was well aware that to practice love in our world is to bring in the sword and fire.
