According to Miss Durden,

venation of an old religion—
“God is Dead.”
What the radical theology
professes to do, according to
Dr. Altizer, is to show “The
reality of the death of God is
Christ."
Altizer has stressed that this
theology is not atheism, but a
call for new language In faith.
He has explained his belief by
saying the original proclama
tion of Christianity was’that
"there would be a dawning of
the kingdom of God," and not
that “God is here."
He said when Christ came to
earth, when "the word became
flesh." and then returned to
heaven, there was an "ever
more full dawning,” a move
ment from "transcendence to
Imminence.”
Perhaps the statement of
Altizer's that best sums up the
essence of his radical new
thought is “To say 'God iB dead’
is to say ’Christ is wholly
here.’ ”
Wesley Foundation, West
minster House and the depart
ment of philosophy and religion
will sponsor Dr. Altizer’s lec
ture. Campus Minister Sidney
Tate of Wesley said “this could
be one of the most significant
events sponsored by Wesley
Foundation. When I invited Dr.
Altizer to speak, he requested
that students read some of his
works before attending the
lecture."
In further explanation of his
radical theology, Altizer has
said “There was a movement
of God from heaven to earth.
As Christ became more fully
and more finally present, God
died.
“To be able to say ‘God is
dead' is simply a way of saying
Christ lias entered the world,
that flesh is finally incarnate,
not transcendent, that Christ
is wholly, fully, finally present-
now."
Dr. Theodore Bunyon, pro
fessor of systematic theology.
Graduate Division of Religion,
Emory University, will give a

of Agriculture, commented on
Foster Rhodes and Richard C.
Huseman, assistant professor
of speech and coach of the de^
bate team, commented on Bill
House.
"I regard Foster as one of
our top students in the College
of Agriculture," said Dean
Murray.
"He IS a top-flight young man
and comes from a fine family
and home,” he continued. “His
honesty, integrity and charac
ter are beyond reproach.”
Dean Murry emphasized the
fact that Rhodes is an excellent
student.
“He lias been very active in
student affairs and the numer
ous positions that he has held
during his college career are an
indication of his leadership
ability,” he Bald.
In conclusion Dean Murray
said, “You would have to hunt
a long time to find a better
boy."
“Bill is a very able speaker,”
Huseman said of House, one of
his pupils us a debater.
“As a novice debater he was
one of the outstanding debat
ers in the country as attested
to by hiB numerous awards," he
said.
“He made a number of trips
for the University under our
symposium program, and he
represented the University
well,” Huseman added.
"Before I came here, I heard
comments from debate coaches
at other universities who were
very impressed with Bill,” he
said.
Huseman Raid in conclusion,
