Reply #26: There aren't the Big League Theologians anymore [View All]

that used to be the liberal Xian spokespersons. No Paul Tillich, no William Sloane Coffin, no Bishop James Pike, no Albert Schweitzer, no big name philosophers either like Bertrand Russell or Jean Paul Sartre? I guess the deconstruction guys weren't interested. And the poets are gone: Allen Ginsberg, Robert Lowell, Denise Levertov and the others. There is still Maya Angelou of course but there used to be a amall galaxy and not just one or two bright stars. In music, the liberal Leonard Bernstein is long deceased. And John Lennon. Our culture, the European culture, has not been producing the people of real stature who from their commanding heights could be lights and beacons for our guidance. And we suffer severely because of this.
