Summary
The notorious "God Is Dead" theologian who scandalized the '60s after cover stories in Time and Life, Altizer intimately relives with us the inner life and thought of radical theology and spiritual crisis.Perhaps our only "atheistic" Buddhist-Christian theologian, Altizer faces theology's decline with new "epic" vision, a contemporary voyage first embodied in Dante, Milton, Blake, and Joyce. By "coincidence of opposites"--affirmation/negation, darkness/light, "flesh"/Spirit, and, tellingly, Satan/Christ -- we voyage into darkness (even "initiation into Satan"), living the death of God that is also resurrection and light. Among Altizer's 13 books, "The Gospel of Christian Atheism, Radical Theology," and "The Death of God "sold more than 100,000. He has taught at Emory and SUNY Stony Brook, and lectures widely.
