LifeLife

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 God: 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-centred religious outlook turns out to be a lively radical theology.

"Don Cupitt has a unique ability to hold up mirrors which force us to see things that we might not otherwise see. Life, Life does just that. One cannot read this book without becoming intensely aware of our ultimate beliefs and values, even if these beliefs are not yet fully conscious In this volume he demonstrates that the vocabulary we once used about God we now use about life. He explores what that means in a series of vignettes that are at once simple, profound and provocative. No one will read this book without being challenged, moved and illumined. It is vintage Cupitt."
