ABSTRACT
The life of Karl Marx, according to Harry Ward, was absorbed in how workaday living could be organized to bring into reality a "love of neighbor" social system. The prophets and Jesus had declared for better ways, tracing the high goals of lamb and lion lying down together, of studying war no more, and of justice rolling down. The United States, a citadel against the growth of collectivism, has preserved a religion about Jesus in the glass temples of evangelistic priests. Some English and French clergy, like Garaudy at Union Seminary, have found it possible to relate the prophets and Jesus with the revolutionary upsurge so that "liberation theology" expressed the new trend. Ward paid a price in the closing years of his life because of the history he presented and the stance he took in his writing and speaking.
