Summary

This quote, attributed to Karl Marx, suggests a complex relationship between Judaism and Christianity. Marx argues that Christianity initially borrowed theological ideas from Judaism, making it a "theorizing Jew." However, over time, Christianity transformed into a distinct religious and philosophical system, while Judaism became associated with practicality. In a reflective twist, Marx then states that the practices of Christianity, in his view, have come to resemble Judaism once more. This quote reflects Marx's critique of religion and his examination of the historical interplay between Judaism and Christianity.
