Don Cupitt is best known for developing a non-realistic interpretation of Christian doctrine and an ever-more radically antirealist position in philosophy.Cupitt has sought to go beyond ecclesiastical religion to a purely this-worldly humanistic religion of life: he argues for a “kingdom” version of Christianity that will bring it closer to the original Jewish Jesus. This book contains essays written over twenty years that appear in book form for the first time.
“During a time in which troubling fundamentalisms and questionable orthodoxies pose growing threats, Don Cupitt’s neo-realist philosophy of religion’ provides a much-needed critical perspective. Writing in an accessible style, Cupitt provides valuable analyses of a wide range of pressing theoretical and practical issues.”---—Mark C. Taylor, Williams College
Don Cupitt is a former Dean of Emmanuel College and Lecturer in the Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge University. In 1996 he retired early in order to write full-time, becoming a life fellow of his college.
