This section is under-referenced, and the interpretation it lays upon these figures is highly atypical. I also note the the claim about Blake is ascribed to someone within the movement; I have my doubts as to whether a less partisan interpreter would make the same claims. Rather than being a historical section it seems to me that at most this is properly a "how the movement sees the past" section. Mangoe (talk) 02:57, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I retitled the § "Mysticism" was useless, every part of theology is some kind of or based on mysticism. Lycurgus (talk) 11:44, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article appears to confuse at least 3 very different points of view. First, the earlier idea that God transcends all being; that he cannot be said to exist in the same way that his creation exists. This view does not deny God, but seeks to stress his "otherness". Second, that God in some sense died at the cross; again this does not deny God, especially as it would argue that Jesus was resurrected. Both views are broadly consistent with mainstream Christian belief. Third, seems to be a philosophical/skeptical view that God died simply in the sense that belief in God has died; this position would deny that God ever existed. To conflate the three is confusing and misleading. If the first two positions are simply being used in a revisionist way by the modern Death of God movement to try and find historical support for their theory, that needs to be made clearer. Either way, this probably needs an expert in theology and philosophy to untangle. --Bermicourt (talk) 10:14, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At this time, the article contains this:

The theme of God's "death" became more explicit in the theosophism of the 18th- and 19th-century mystic William Blake.

When I look up theosophism on Wikipedia, it redirects me to Theosophy, and the article does not mention Blake. The article about William Blake mentions neither theosophism nor theosophy. So is is unclear what this is supposed to mean. SpectrumDT (talk) 09:32, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page at the moment reflects Radical theology which at this time redirects here. I propose to expand the page to cover a larger territory, following the lineage in higher criticism from Spinoza and Peyrere (re: there will be a section on the higher criticism) up through Wellehausen & Nietzsche and thereafter addressing a broader array of the ramifications and impacts adjacent to the inflection of radical theology currently represented here.

The higher criticism page is substantive and in basically good shape right now but this particular vertical or development gets a bit lost as a result of that. So that’s one section that will be added. There will be a section on Hegel’s philosophy of history and another section on how the meaning and assumptions related to the term philosophy of history changes after Nietzsche (re: the interwar moment with Heidegger, Benjamin, Scholem and Arendt). There will be another covering the terrain in protestant theology (The line from Tillich and Barth etc. up through Peter Rollins & co. who will probably get their own section under the heading Radical Theology). There will be a section of theology after the Holocaust (including Jewish theology after the Holocaust). There will probably be a few other sections and sub-sections as well. I welcome suggestions and critique here or direct assistance in editing as I build the page out.

I could just go to work on this but one of the first things that I think I should do is change the page name. I propose a name change to Death of God (event). What is referred to is under the heading death of god is not its own theology-its a feature of various theologies but it’s also a historical event that concerns fields not under the heading of theology (philosophy, historiography, philosophy of history, philology is majorly implicated in this event etc.) Even as a topic in Christian seminaries which are primarily represented here already at the moment the Death of God refers to an event (the crucifixion and the loss of God by God on the cross re: ‘Eloi, eloi lama sabacthani.’)

The way to unify the whole terrain that calls out to be covered on this page involves a name change at the page level. That seems like something that should be addressed on the talk page. So I’ll wait to see if there’s input here for a week or two and if I don’t hear any objections I’ll change the page name. ThomasMikael (talk) 00:39, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
