supplemental reading

I've included the 1965 article for a little background, as well as a wikipedia article outlining the controversy.

Is God Dead?

Toward a Hidden God (1966) was an article in TIME magazine that explored some of the themes being explored by modern theologians who were seriously engaging with issues around secularism. This article brought the discipline of Radical Theology to a popular audience.

The magazine cover remains one of the most iconic images in publishing history and drew heavy criticism. It is also one of the best selling TIME magazines.

This article came after a previous controversial article from October 1965, that had investigated a trend among 1960s theologians to write about the death of God in theology. Today’s reflection is the 1966 article.
