Living the Death of God

From Mark C. Taylor’s Forward to Thomas Altizer’s “theological memoir” entitled Living the Death of God:

…for [Altizer’s] radical Christian, reality is absolute nothingness, and absolute nothingness is absolutely real…To say Yes to this absolute nothingness is to discover plenitude in the void. This fullness in no way represses or forgets the emptiness in the midst of life but allows us to live with an abandon that embraces loss and lack as the very conditions of our existence.

Altizer was a Doctor de La Nada.
