A CHRISTIAN IS SELECT BIBLIOGRAPH"f ON COMMUNISMby

M. Searle BatesProfessor of Missions

Union Theological Seminary, New York

Many have assumed in past years that the issues raised for Christians by Com-munism are stark and simple: Communism is materialist and atheist; Christians arespiritually oriented, even if concerned chiefly with production and the income tax.Communism is violent, heedless of morals, totalitarian; Christians are peaceful,dedicated to an ethical life, supported by democratic institutions--yet sometimesuneasy about the gulf between principle and practice, possibly uneasy about the Com-munist claim that for them theory and practice are one.

In another approach, some Christians scourge their society with the whip ofCommunist seorpions, accepted as a judgment for Christian failure to achieve justiceand brotherhood in a peaceful order built upon an adequate material base. For stillothers, the dangerous errors and excesses in much of the professional, often vulgar,tlanti-communisms" blind us to the Communist threat to open societies and to Christianactivity in all parts of the "i-lOrld.

We need fresh, clear, truthful understanding of major questions such as these:1. What is Communism today? 2. How and why has it become so significant in ourtime? Why is it attractive in many countries? 3. What are the real issues now?4. What ought Christians to think and to do as they confront Communists?

Communism can be understood only in its Marxist origins, but with comprehensionof the changes connected with the names of Lenin and Stalin, Krushchev and Mao, andof the ways in which official ideology is modified in propaganda appeals of immensevolume and influence. But Communism has come to be much more than a rush of ideasand a hurricane of verbiage, to be met with a wall of ideas and words. It is anenormous organization of power--political, economic, military--controlling a thirdof mankind and strongly influencing much of the rest, including ourselves. Moreover,Communism is not a uniform ideology and a monolithic structure, despite strong ten-dencies in these directions. The working doctrines and the actual behavior of Russia,of China, of Poland, of Yugoslavia, of the Co~nvnist parties in non-Communist coun-tries, are far from homogeneous.

The attractions of Communism today may begin as of old, in virulent denunciationof faults in "capitalist-imperialist-militarist" s.ocieties ranging widely in type andquality. But the attractions derive more powerfully from the achievements, real andadvertised, of Russia and China; and from the belief found in some leading or awaken---------------._.

ing groups in undeveloped countries, that radical and effective collectivism affords the proven, indeed the only, way to move forward quickly to strength and to social well-being. Americans, especially, must recognize that where there is not enough of food, or of anything, to meet urgent general needs, power is required to enforce saving and investment and to allot scarce resourees to basic purposes.

In our time the issues often appear in terms of the cold war, a confused strug­gl e of national interests, power, and ideas intermingled, r1xnning through a broad spectrum of goals and symbols: freedom, economic progress, security, peace. Chris­tians need understanding not only of Communist concepts and slogans, but of the so­cieties operated by Communists. We have to decide and to act, as citizens of our respective countries and of the world. We also want to know the situation of our Christian brethren within the Communist states, who help to humanize our attitudes toward the men, women, and children therein. We need to distinguish between the small though important number of Communists; the much larger number of citizens who accept ; more or less fu~ly but passively the Communist regimes; and the unknown num­ber who in some degree oppose, inwardly if not outwardly, the Communist order and its dr as t i c controls.

The volume of publications on Communism, on the Communist states in their many aspects, on issues raised by Communist factors in international relations, on Chris­tian experience and attitudes under Communism and in regard to Communism, is now enormous. Selection must be rigorous. ~oreover, it is not possible to go into prob­lems and measures of health in free and non-Communist societies--health understood comprehensively as economic, political, and spiritual. One can only say that the attached list represents a development based on an experience of more than a dozen years in the instructional program of Union Theological Seminary, and on the bib­liographies published from time to time QY the Missionary Research Library. The needs and situations of readers will vary enormously, and any list will prove to be only partly satisfactory to the indiVidual reader, teacher, or librarian.
