Feuerbach’s inversion

Feuerbach’s inversion

What theologians was Feuerbach reading? If God is to be transcendent, he said, “the human, considered as such, is depreciated . . . . To enrich God, man must become poor; that God may be all in all, man must be nothing.”

He certainly wasn’t reading Paul, or if he was, he precisely inverted the gospel, the good news of a God who became poor that we might be rich.
