Context: The Apologist Podcast (Season 2, Episode 2)
Speaker: Steven R. Martins and Joe Owen
Language: English
This second episode of The Apologist‘s second season examines Joe Owen’s The Gospel According to Marx, presenting his thesis that Marxism and its derivative critical theories constitute a comprehensive rival worldview that is subtly reshaping Christian moral language, theological categories, and conceptions of Christ. Owen clarifies that his project is not partisan but analytical, arguing that these frameworks function as a counterfeit gospel already operative within segments of the church. His aim is to equip readers—especially lay Christians—with the conceptual clarity needed to discern these influences and remain anchored in the biblical gospel.
