If you are interested in Christian communism, you MUST read Joachim of Fiore.
He believed history had three stages: the Age of the Father, the Age of the Son and the final stage, the Age of the Holy Spirit. The Age of the Holy Spirit is to be ushered in by an angel with a sword (a revolutionary) and the Christian values of universal love and universal freedom would which exist in the Kingdom of God would be realized on Earth. A group called the Order of Just (the party) would take over the church and it would then wither away.
Many scholars consider Joachim to be a precursor to Marxism, and you can certainly tell by this quote of his:
"In any kingdom, happiness has three conditions (all of which will be satisfied in the millennium): first, that despite all multiplicity, which is not against order, and despite all differences of rank, the subjects have equality among each other, as we have learned from the distribution of Israel where the equal share of land reminded everyone not to pride himself over others. Everyone is to find his happiness in the happiness of his neighbor, his joy in the joy of all the other people, and by that everybody is to be a free lord among others; secondly, that they have a community of goods and not take delight in goods because they are a property; thirdly, that they demand nothing from each other as an obligation. Because, if everything would be available in abundance, there would be no need of government, property and of no liabilities forced and extorted by government."
