- Summary:
- The modern world has witnessed an intellectual refusal of Christianity's God that is unique in Western history. Whether this refusal is a darkness presaging a dramatically new dawn, or whether it represents the twilight of Christendom leading to an everlasting night, or whether, finally, it is simply one more chapter in the protracted love-hate history of humanity's obsession with God, is the question this book takes up. The relationship of Schleiermacher, Hegel, Feuerbach, Nietzsche, and post-modernism to the question of God are examined. The final part deals with how divine transcendence might be spoken about, yet again.
