According to the author, the main efforts of this book are to describe the background and character of the present ferment in theology. It appeared first in the form of a paper on the radical, or "God is dead," theology, written for the Society for Theological Discussion in the fall of 1963. And to assess the importance of this upheaval for contemporary religious thought to point out some of the more characteristic and perhaps damaging weaknesses of the radical theology and then, in Part II, to suggest some preliminary answers to the problems for language about God raised by these developments in contemporary culture.

Gilkey's latest work takes the measure of the current American religious and cultural crisis, assesses recent theological responses to it, and shows how these illumine our understanding of the ongoing creationism controversy. Throughout, Gilkey articulates a faith- stance responsive to the contemporary world of radical pluralism and moral uncertainity - without retreating to simplistic dogmatism. Gilkey's vision of a "blue twilight" in which light fights with dark in religion and culture, stands as a stark reminder of what is at stake in the future of American religious life.
