Death of God Theology as Emancipatory Thinking

The article analyzes Death of God theology as an emancipatory way of thinking relevant to the contemporary context. Stressing the historicity of the Christian message, Death of God theology rests upon the premise that the world has come of age. On the one hand, it attempts to interpret the Christian message without any religious elements, on the other, it claims that the negation of transcendence and the immediate givenness, historicity and eschatological orientation towards the future are the essence of Christianity. If the contemporary cultural situation is also treated as givenness, the message of these theologians is an invitation to negagte the contemporary status quo while not returning to the previous forms of thinking and being and not self-closing in an ahistorical shell.
