During the 1960’s, there was a movement that was partly a result of Jewish thought following the atrocities of WW2, called the God is Dead movement. The basic premise was that if God is all that we have believed God to be, how could God allow his chosen people to suffer as they did during the holocaust. If doesn’t think I have done the movement justice by that brief descriptor, please add your comments to the blog post. I first studied this in the early ’90’s and my first thought was that it was right on the money. God the source of all.creation wasn’t dead or gone, but these events must force believers to re-examine their notions of who and what God is. God,Godself, didn’t have to be dead,but some of our human conceptions of the divine were ready to be put to rest. RIP.
