ABSTRACT
This chapter contains an outline of the track that is followed in this book. The Dutch theologian Kuitert offers its problem statement. He rejected a God from above but demanded that God exist independently of the world in order to be really God and thereby got stuck. Hegel and Heidegger had already enabled theology to replace the old imagery of God by speaking of God as Spirit and Being, without the need to talk about a supernatural or separate being. Hegel and Heidegger also contributed to the shape of the three contemporary theological directions discussed next, namely interpretive, deconstructive, and constructive theologians. The final chapter elaborates on the conception of God after God.
