Features: In modern thought, people have increasingly come to view the world as fundamentally the world of ordinary life. Don Cupitt believes that the way we talk about life is very similar to how people once talked about God: faith in life, what life prepares for us, and struggling with life. The book collects 250 such life idioms. Cupitt mines this database to develop a modern philosophical theology of human life. In this theological philosophy, morality and stories replace traditional supernatural doctrines. This life-centered religious perspective proves to be a vibrant radical theology. In these outstanding and beautiful "philosophical meditations on life," Don Cupitt inspires us to rethink religious and moral norms based on the ordinary, accidental, and "ubiquitous" nature of life. This is a must-read.
