  • Summary

  • Spencer Hess and Laurie Johnson talk about the "Spoils of Egypt" concept from Christian theology, how it has operated in the past, and what is keeping people from using it now. In the past, Christian theologians have often "plundered" secular theology for its riches, taking what was useful and true in light of Christian revelation, and leaving what was not. Today, much philosophy is left un-plundered because it is perceived to be "evil" and untouchable. This is certainly true of critical theory and Marxism. But while much of the positive claims of Marxism, such as atheism and materialism, can and should be left behind, the deposit of negative theory regarding the abstract and impersonal operations of capital and the market ought to be carried off as spoils, because in order to get anything done we must understand our world accurately.
