Above Us Only Sky: The Religion of Ordinary Life by Don Cupitt (English) Paperba

Description: Above Us Only Sky by Don Cupitt Presents a systematic theology of the religion of ordinary life, setting it against its philosophical background, its spirituality and its relation to other faiths. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Don Cupitt believes that a new and truly global religious consciousness has been quietly easing itself in around the world. It does not need any visible organization and does not make any non-rational doctrinal claims. It is the religion of life - a secular, purely this-worldly, and radically-democratic affirmation of ordinary life. Where prescientific ages saw Heaven, he says, we see only sky. We have given up belief in a supernatural world, and we have felt compelled to break with the received ecclesiastical form of Christianity. But the Christian spirit of critical thinking, of systematic self-criticism and perpetual reform, has spread around the whole world in modern science, technology, critical history, and liberal democracy. In ""Above Us Only Sky"", in 27 brief slogans, he presents a systematic theology of this religion of ordinary life, setting it against its philosophical background, its spirituality and its relation to other faiths. It is, he says, the legacy and the long-awaited fulfilment of Christianity. Author Biography Don Cupitt is a Life Fellow and former Dean of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England, and the author of more than thirty books including, Life, Life (2003), The Way to Happiness (2005), and The Great Questions of Life (2006). A frequent broadcaster, mainly for the BBC, he has made three TV Series, one of which, ""The Sea of Faith,"" (1984), gave rise to a book and to an international network of radical Christians which is still growing. Review â ¦ the fullest exposition to date of Cupitts new everyday religion of life. Brilliance and daring of thought and style are, by now, only to be expected from Cupitt, but this draws together many of the threads of the last ten years of his work in a scintillatingly readable declaration of faith and hope.â George Pattison, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford â If there is one Cupitt book to read, Above Us Only Sky is it. It offers the clearest and most complete expression of Don Cupittâ s philosophy to date, and will appeal to both long-time Cupitt fans and newcomers seeking an introduction to his philosophy.â â John C.
