Beschreibungen/Notizen
God died on April 8, 1966. At least the demise of the divine was announced on the cover story of Time magazine that year. This announcement was made not by an association of atheists but by an emerging circle of Christian theologians, radical theologians, the "Death of God Theologians." Representative theologians of this movement are Thomas Altizer, William Hamilton, Paul Van Buren, and Rabbi Richard Rubenstein. Yet the Death of God Theologians continued to write about God, the late god, and the lingering and living signifier, in an avalanche of Death of God books, articles, essays, and papers. In fact, Thomas Altizer, a father of the movement and a self-professed Christian atheist, continued to engage in dramatic God-talk in his writing and appearances at religion conferences until shortly before his death at age 91 in 2018. Likewise, we might ask the about relationships between the end of art, the death of God, and the end of theology. What is theology? If God is dead, why are we still doing theology?
