Life, Life

by Don Cupitt

In modern thinking people have increasingly come to see the world as primarily one of ordinary human life. Don Cupitt argues that we speak of life very much as people used to speak of faith in life, what life has in store for us, wrestling with life, etc. In "Life, Life" he has assembled some 250 of these life-idioms. Cupitt mines this database to develop a modern religious philosophy of human life. In it, ethics and stories take the place of traditional supernatural dogma. This fully life-centered religious outlook turns out to be a lively radical theology.
