Talk:Death of God theology

The mysticism section

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)

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)

Radical theology

is redirected here. Does that make sense? --2A00:801:210:3B76:843F:988C:9D17:3B7B (talk) 16:24, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Confusion

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)

Theosophism of William Blake?

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)
