Publisher's Synopsis
This volume examines the modern intellectual refusal of Christanity's God. Prominence is given to Schleiermacher and Hegel, the two seminal thinkers of the modern theological era, and to Feuerbach, Hegel's most influential interpreter, because their thought still determines the current parameters for the God-question.;In the period following their immediate dominance, Friedrich Nietzsche inevitably claims special attention. And in his wake, the possible relevance of postmodernism to the question of God is also aired. The final part deals with how divine transcendence might be spoken about, yet again.
