"Fully Human and Truly Human: Grasping the Image of God—and of Christ

Fifty years ago, the question landed like a bombshell on the cover of Time magazine: “Is God Dead?” Theologians like Thomas J. J. Altizer, William H. Hamilton, and Paul van Buren rode this frothy new wave of atheism. It made headlines because it didn’t come from outside the church, but from inside. Not to be outdone, one professor rewrote Psalm 23 to mark God’s death:


He was our guide and our stay

He walked with us beside still waters

He was our help in ages past . . .

He is gone, he is stolen by darkness . . .

Heaven is empty.


In 2019, a new question has emerged in the West: “Is Man Dead?” People all around us ask this question in one form or another. It seems to many that the human race has no greater purpose, no sure foundation, no end to which we’re headed.
