✦ Synopsis

This is a short pamphlet, printed in the UK, that aims to explain the Christian Left and the "beliefs it represents" rather than its history. Its author discusses not only the Christian case for socialism, but also the movement's unique theology and conflicts with the existing churches (especially Anglican in this context). There are conflicting claims regarding date of publication, but a library catalogue places it in 1939. There is also "1935" penciled across the top page.

The pamphlet's author explains that the Christian Left is operating as its own organization, independent of other socialist groups, because it has a specific mission of crafting a Christianity appropriate to the coming socialist age.

Of interest to labor researchers, socialist and anarchist activists, and all researching the history of "liberation theology" and Christian socialism or anarchism.
