A popular debate over whether "God is dead" was occasioned by the so-called radical theology propounded in the 1960s by Altizer, then a professor of religion at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Altizer left the school in 1968, and the "death of God" movement lost much of its steam by the end of the decade, but Emory continued to maintain a reputation, especially in the South, for theological liberalism. - Metadata URL:
