Jesus AntiChrist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781706216612)

We know what he thought about property, government, war, art, and so many other subjects. But what about his spiritual side? For example, what did Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-65), the great forefather of anarchism, have to say about Jesus Christ? For Proudhon, Jesus was the original Anti-christ or an "Anti-Messiah", who denied the traditional idea of the Messiah: Jesus taught that the Messiah was not a god who came to die for your sins, or some revolutionary leader coming to free the people: rather, for Proudhon's Jesus, "Messiah" is an abstraction relating to moral and social progress; "Christ" equals social and personal improvement. No man will come to save the day: instead, we have to reform ourselves.This is the first English edition of this curious, posthumous book by Proudhon.
