Back in 1966 Time Magazine courted controversy with their “God is Dead” cover. It seemed, at least to modernist theologians, that it was possible to create Christianity without God or at least a religion without him. Those were heady days for the progressives, hoping to create a faith that could be embraced by “sensible” people. The result is a bunch of nonsensical theo-babble that has absolutely no value to the common person but keeps theologians and academics busy and gainfully employed.
The man who gave us the “God is dead” cover and article, John T. Elson died last month. I wish his soul eternal rest. But, in spite of his attention grabbing cover and the theologians who based their academic careers on it, God and his traditional religion are very much alive. The death of God movement on the other hand is well, pretty dated, aging, and maybe even…dead.
