520 |a For the radical death of God theologian, Thomas J.J. Altizer, William Blake’s epic and prophetic poetry instigated a redemptive Christian vision. Altizer, writing in the 1960s in America, was concerned with finding a theology that suited his time, one that would participate in a reversal of the alienation and dehumanisation he saw as the plague of his own highly technological and urban society.
