A Total Eclipse of God. Notes to the Theology of Dorothee Sölle. Sölle’s world of ideas would be profoundly true, and would carry much more weight in the attempts made for the renewal of theology, if she had consistently kept the non-commutative order of cause (God) and effect (intellect), instead of carelessly mixing the two. Because it is true that the gospel preached in this spiritually disintegrated, indifferent age, an age that questions with virtuosity the very meaning of existence, should give prominent place to the relation of intellect and personality to God.
