Toward a New Christianity by Thomas J.J. Altizer Book. Hopefully a new day has dawned for theology, a revolutionary day in which the gradual but decisive transformation of faith that has occurred in the modern world will be recognized, even though doing so may promise the end of most if not all of the established religious forms of the West. At the moment, and for perhaps well into the future, the most radical theological revolution is promised by the death of God theology, a theology grounded by one means or another in the death of the Christian God. This is not to say that this theology, if such it can be called, is the only new or even revolutionary theology at hand. The majority of Christian theo-logians, whether Catholic or Protestant, acknowledge the end of Western Christendom as we have known it, and with it the end of those cultural and social forms which once assumed a Christian name. Everywhere today theologians are either struggling for new forms of faith and community or are engaged in a desperate battle to preserve the old forms at whatever cost. Until recently it was possible for many theologians to take a neutral stance in this conflict, but increasingly the crisis at hand is driving both the theologian and the believer to a choice between a strange and largely un-known future and a seemingly archaic and irrelevant past.
