Zusatztext Osborn covers ground familiar to students of the Enlightenment! but he does so with such clarity! depth! candor! and feistiness as to repulse the sense of the commonplace and intensify the urgency of the message-both for the wider society and for the church itself... Humanism and the Death of God belongs in the library of every pastor whose congregation needs a reminder of its relevance and responsibility. Informationen zum Autor Ronald E.
