Abstract
At the 1992 convention of the American Academy of Religion (AAR)/Society of Biblical Literature, David Tracy (University of Chicago) gave a lecture on The End of Theism and the Re-naming of God. He simply asserted without argument that traditional theism was no longer a viable option and that there are many names for the unknown Reality a claim for which he received hearty applause. After the lecture, someone aptly commented, We just heard a lecture on the end of theism, and nobody looks worried.
