Today all schools of philosophy seem to be agreed that God has no place in philosophy except as a phenomenon of the past. Whether the same fate awaits the God of Christian theology depends on whether the truth that appeared to the Greeks in the epiphany of the “God of the philosophers, ” who entered into alliance with the biblical God in Christian theology and whose death Nietzsche proclaimed, can come to light in a new form beyond the nihilism of Nietzsche's diagnosis. To understand the dimensions of the problem requires that one be clear on the nature of the God of the philosophers and its relation to the God of biblical revelation and that one see Nietzsche's diagnosis of nihilism against this background and in relation to today's possibilities
