The Christianity without God
 Lloyd Geering  Belief in God — understood as a supernatural spiritual being
who created the universe and continues to sustain it — has long been assumed to be the irreplaceable foundation of the three monotheistic religions. But just as the bible ceased, in the
nineteenth century, to be convincing as the repository of divinely revealed knowledge, so the twentieth century witnessed the death of the conventional image of God. Lloyd Geering asks
whether this "death of God" spells the imminent death of the whole Christian tradition or simply means the end of conventional Christian doctrine.
