The Dark History of Marxism vs. Christianity with Dr. Erwin Lutzer
Karl Marx and D.L. Moody were two men with radically different visions for humanity. Both witnessed poverty, injustice, and suffering, but their solutions couldnβt have been more different. So, what can these two 19th-century contemporaries teach us about the battle of worldviews we're facing today?
One of our favorite guests, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, joins Frank to explore that question through his new book, Marx and Moody, co-authored with Dr. Gregg Quiggle. From Marxβs troubled home life and calls for revolution to Moodyβs work among the poor and passion for the Gospel, their stories reveal just how differently these two men believed society could be changed. Along the way, theyβll tackle questions like:
- What was Karl Marxβs personal life like, and how did it compare to the society he envisioned?
- Whatβs the difference between socialism and communism, and why are these ideas still attractive today?
- Why are the family, private property, and Christianity at odds with Marxism?
- How did Marxist ideas make their way into American culture?
- Why didnβt Marxism take over England during Marxβs lifetime?
- How did D.L. Moody address poverty and social needs without looking to revolution?
- Why did Christian leaders like Moody and Charles Spurgeon speak out against socialism and communism?
Marx looked to revolution. Moody looked to the Gospel. More than a century later, we're still living with the consequences. Listen as Frank and Dr. Lutzer unpack how two competing answers to the problems of the 1800s are still shaping the world we live in today, and grab your copy of Marx and Moody to learn more!
