Resurrecting the Death of God
The Origins, Influence, and Return of Radical Theology
By Daniel J. Peterson, G. Michael Zbaraschuk | Publisher: State University of New York Press
About the book
In 1966, an infamous Time magazine cover asked \"Is God Dead?\" and brought the ideas of theologians William Hamilton and Thomas J. J. Altizer to the wider public. In the years that followed, both men suffered professionally and there was no notable increase to the small number of thinkers considered death of God theologians. Meanwhile, Christian fundamentalism staged a striking comeback in the United States. Yet, death of God, or radical, theology has had an ongoing influence on contemporary theology and philosophy. Contributors to this book explore the origins, influence, and legacy of radical theology and go on to take it in new directions. In a time when fundamentalism is the greatest religious temptation, this volume makes the case for the necessity of resurrecting the death of God.
