Description

Don Cupitt is best known for the "non-realistic" doctrine of God, which he first put forward in 1980. This soon developed into a non-realistic interpretation of Christian doctrine generally, and then an ever-more radically antirealist position in philosophy. In outlook, he was at first close to Kant and Kierkegaard, but as he developed it, his thinking moved closer to Buddhism and to the outlook of a contemporary such as Richard Rorty. Cupitt's ideas have been controversial in Britain for 20 years, and he and his followers have often been in difficulties with the church authorities. Most recently, he has sought to go beyond ecclesiastical religion to a purely this-worldly humanistic religion of life, but he is still not quite post-Christian, on the contrary, he argues for a "kingdom" version of Christianity that will bring it closer to the original Jewish Jesus. This is a collection of his essays written over 20 years, that show him developing his distinctive theology before a variety of audiences.
