>It is not >surprising then to find my Christians attracted to Marx's analysis of >capitalism. For example, see the theological work of Gustavo Gutierrez >(Catholic) and James Cone (Methodist). There is an extensive literature (under the umbrella of 'Liberation Theology'), much of it explicitly "Marxist-Christian" or "Christian-Marxist". Interestingly, the same literature influenced and/or interacted with movements in education (Paulo Freire) and North American psychotherapy (most notably the work of Carl Rogers), as well as having some influence on African 'liberation movements' (especially Marxist-Christians within the South African Communist Party).
