While for the largest part of its history humankind has experienced
its daily life in the 'here and now' in terms of a more
fundamental, transcendent realm, a significant group of Westerners,
in contrast, is living life without any reference to such a
transcendent realm. From a Christian perspective, this situation is
complicated by the fact that this loss of transcendence occurred in
the Christian West. This raises the question of the relation
between Christianity and secularization.How did the idea of the
"Death of God" come about, where were its origins? Frederiek
Depoortere presents a fascinating investigation into the history of
the concept of God through Greek philosophy, Mediaeval theology,
the Reformation to Early Modern philosophy. He proves that the
roots of modern secularism can be traced back to the epistemology
of the first metaphysicians of Greek philosophy and the Christian
theologians, who developed their concepts further.
