ABSTRACT
Harry Kuitert was one of the most well-read and controversial theologians in the Netherlands at the turn of the twenty-first century. He came from an orthodox background but had a big clear-out among Christian beliefs and was ultimately applied as a destructive theologian, most famous for his dictum that all talk about “up there” comes from “down here.” Several steps can be distinguished in Kuitert’s development, in which he kept opposing God and humans and finally concluded that God is an imagination of human beings. He did not succeed in developing a non-contrasting God or elaborating on God after God.
