These things always take a bit longer than planned but the reprint of Karl Kautsky's Foundations of Christianity should be available in the next week or so. To prove it here is the cover artwork. We include Kautsky's original text and a preface from me. This gives a bit of Kautsky's biography and a short explanation of the Marxist view of religion. Michael Löwy's introduction looks at Kautsky's method. An afterword by Dave Packer deals with some questions of interpretation of Roman society and economy.

The ISBN is 978-0-902869-93-6.

It's been a mission of mine for years to get this book back in print. Pat Hickey introduced me to it shortly after I moved to England. I've not seen him in at least fifteen years and I've no idea if he's alive or dead but he was a remarkable man. He had been in the merchant navy and became a building worker. He joined the IMG and led a big construction strike in Birmingham in the 1970s. He was a model of the working class Communist intellectual but drink was his weakness. The book is dedicated to him.
