Hi all, I think "Communism in Christianity" would be a better title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anti-Plantinga (talkcontribs) 11:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My elaboration Thank you all for your contributions to the discussion. I think the name "Christian communism" sounds like a proper name/technical term/jargon... but it is precisely because it sounds jargon-ish that I believe that it should not be used as the title. https://churchlifejournal.nd.edu/articles/the-sources-of-early-christian-communism/ Is the only article I found that used the phrase "Christian communism", so I think we shouldn't use it. Peaceray, thank you for your comments too; you pointed out that I think the phrase "communism in Christianity", just like "Christian communism" (but as I mentioned above I think it should not be the title), shows "communistic practices as emerging from Christian beliefs", and lives up to what you would like.

Please let me know if I misunderstood anyone or anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anti-Plantinga (talkcontribs) 14:13, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also disagree: The phrase "Christian communism" is used by some extensive studies on the topic, for example the book "Red Theology: On the Christian Communist Tradition" [1]. Yes, this is a small school of thought, but it is a distinct school of thought. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ztbr (talkcontribs) 19:10, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciation for the articles Note: on Marx

[edit]

It would be nice to see this more often!!! It so benefits encyclopedia readers to see quotes like this given with a note simply explaining the position of an author within a metaphor. 172.103.198.76 (talk) 21:19, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible confusion

[edit]

I don't know how to edit this but maybe we should add an "not to be confused with Christian Socialism" 2A02:8071:5070:8880:C02B:761C:84EC:7555 (talk) 11:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The IPs who deny that the Apostles organized a communist community know neither mainstream history nor the Bible.

E.g. von Mises was not a pinko. Not at all. And some 19th century historians are WP:CITED just to show it isn't a particularly new insight.

As for me, I am not a leftist, not a Christian, I don't believe in the Bible. I'm here for get the popcorn. tgeorgescu (talk) 13:16, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
