https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_God_Dead%3F

“Is God Dead?” was an April 8, 1966, cover story for the news magazine Time.[1] A previous article, from October 1965, had investigated a trend among 1960s theologians to write God out of the field of theology. The 1966 article looked in greater depth at the problems facing modern theologians, in making God relevant to an increasingly secular society. Modern science had eliminated the need for religion to explain the natural world, and God took up less and less space in people’s daily lives. The ideas of various scholars were brought in, including the application of contemporary philosophy to the field of theology, and a more personal, individual approach to religion.

The issue drew heavy criticism, both from the broader public and from clergymen. Much of the criticism was directed at the provocative magazine cover, rather than the content of the article. The cover – all black with the words “Is God Dead?” in large red text – marked the first time in the magazine’s history that text with no accompanying image was used. In 2008, the Los Angeles Times named the “Is God Dead?” issue among “10 magazine covers that shook the world”.

The Long March Through the Institutions emphatically included seminaries.

Fuller Theological was one of the first and worst.

I would not spend a quarter to attend almost any of them now.

I remember that (Yes, I am old).

It was disgusting — and terrifying for a young child.
