[1]  [DOC] "Is God Dead?" was an April 8, 1966, cover story for the news magazine "Time". 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.
