The death of God began, according to Vahanian, the moment Western
man started to compromise with the Biblical concept of God
transcendent, and to merge the identity of the Godhead with the
identity of humankind. From this compromise evolved the belief in
the possibility of heaven on earth, in human perfectibility, in the
expectation that man, both individually and collectively, can
control his termporal fate. Today, as a consequence, Western
society not only exalts all possible material comforts, but
requires as well easy, guaranteed, status-assuring religious
affiliations. The present search for "inner security" is in direct
opposition to the toleration of doubt that tests the strength of
genuine religious faith. And Vahanian shows how our spiritual
decline is reflected in much of the most important imaginative
writing of today.
