Thomas Jonathan Jackson Altizer (May 28, 1927 – November 28, 2018) was a radical theologian who was known for incorporating Friedrich Nietzsche's conception of the "death of God" and G.
W.
F.
Hegel's dialectical philosophy into his systematic theology.
He regarded his philosophical theology as grounded as well in the works of William Blake and considered his theology to have come into its own with his extended study of Blake's radical visionary thinking: The New Apocalypse: The Radical Christian Vision of William Blake (1967); indeed he regarded himself as the first and only fully Blakean theologian.
