  • Ethics in the Last Days of Humanity
    Don Cupitt
    Ethics in the Last Days of Humanity is not about the science of global warming so much as the absence of a serious ethical and religious response to it. When all existing ’reality’ breaks down, ethics can no longer be based on nature or religious law. Cupitt advocates for an alternative inspired by the historical Jesus. 3 ...

  • Creative Faith
    Don Cupitt
    At some point very early on in its development, Christianity split between two different pathways: one path stayed with the teaching of Jesus and the primacy of ethics, the other started with the return of Jesus and, therefore, with supernatural belief. Today, ethics has been largely sidelined, viewed as secondary or subservient to belief. Don Cupitt argues that the time has co...

  • The Last Testament
    Don Cupitt
    Do you envy the suicide bombers their firm faith in life after death? Probably not: you think they are deluded. People in the west have quite recently lost all their old ideas about a Better World Hereafter. We now accept that we are already in the Last World, the world with no further reality beyond it, and that we’d better live our life to the full while we have it.If so, the...

  • Philosophy’s Own Religion
    Don Cupitt
    In this book Don Cupitt presents his systematic philosophy of religion. He begins by showing what is wrong with the way the subject is usually taught: scraps from various philosophies of the past are selected for use in the service of an agenda controlled by theology. Inevitably, the resqlt is,something closer to religious apologetics than to genuine philosophy.Cupitt sets out ...

  • The Revelation of Being
    Don Cupitt
    One day in July 1997 Don Cupitt was gazing at the view from his window and thinking about Heidegger. Suddenly he was struck by a very brief but violent religious experience. He wrote down a note about it on the spot, and now in retrospective analysis develops from it a typically postmodern vision of the world and the human condition - which, surprisingly, turns out to be a secu...

  • The Old Creed and the New
    Don Cupitt
    The Old Creed and the New is Don Cupitt’s latest writing in his on-going project to modernize religious thought. His previous works have argued that since the Enlightenment almost every new movement in Christianity has been neo-Conservative and authoritarian. Here he looks to the liberal theologians of a hundred years ago who attempted to modernize religion but were often conte...

  • What Is a Story?
    Don Cupitt
    Western thought began with an attack on religious myth by philosophers who held that the highest truth must be non-narrative and timeless. They left a paradox to haunt us: for on the one hand everyone knows that stories are important to us and our religion is full of them, while on the other hand stories continue to have a bad name as myths or fictions. It has been so difficult...

  • Turns of Phrase
    Don Cupitt
    In 40 years of writing Don Cupitt has coined many new words and phrases to communicate his ideas, but he has written so much that critics have split him up into stages, and readers complain of obscurity. Piqued, he here represents an entertaining ’Devil’s Dictionary’ of his own ideas, with cross-links from entry to entry guiding the reader around his system. Cupitt’s teaching i...

  • Lifelines
    Don Cupitt
    ’If you are one of those who persist in thinking that the old questions about the meaning of life, however badly framed they were, had something important behind them, then the answer offered here is that there is indeed such a thing as the religious life, that it has a variety of different possible shapes or courses, and that there is something important to be learnt from a co...

  • Crisis of Moral Authority
    Don Cupitt
    This book was written in 1970, in the days when even the Church Times was welcoming Don Cupitt as a stalwart believer. However, as the author now points out, it is an important pointer to the future. The straitlaced early Cupitt is obviously struggling to prevent the later Cupitt from bursting out.’Its starting point was straightforward enough. Many, perhaps most of the great c...

  • The Meaning of the West
    Don Cupitt
    Today, Western culture rules the world, but understandings of what it is are oddly contradictory. The Vatican claims that the West owes everything to the Catholic Church, its oldest institution, but the European Union currently defines its core-values in purely-secular Enlightenment terms. Third-World critics attack the West for being irreligious and morally decadent, while at ...

  • Jesus and Philosophy
    Don Cupitt

Then disaster struck: it began to be believed that he was risen, exalted to heaven, and soon to return to establish his kingdom on earth. A cult of Jesus’ person and fictitious lives of himquickly followed, and the surviving traditions of his actual teaching became to...

    For two centuries and more our culture has been secular, and no religious doctrine now plays a constitutive part in any established branch of knowledge. Yet if God is dead, he won’t lie down, and reminders of the old faith still pervade our language, the built environment, our art and our literature.

  • The Sea of Faith
    Don Cupitt
    The Sea of Faith made a huge impact when it was first published to accompany a major television series in the mid 1980’s. For a generation that was embodying the ebbing of the tide of faith, it articulated the huge intellectual and cultural shifts that had resulted in most people no longer having any connection with official religion. For many who, whilst still going to church,...

  • Above Us Only Sky
    Don Cupitt
    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, w...

  • Impossible Loves
    Don Cupitt
    Back when belief in predestination was powerful, there was only one way life could go. Today we have a stronger sense of contingency and find ourselves clinging to lost loves, missed opportunities, and other lives we might have lived. Don Cupitt meditates on the religious significance of all our many lost and impossible loves. The impossible, he says, has replaced the supernatu...

It is, he says, inevitably, highly autobiographical. This set of eighteen unpublished or little known published essays which document his gradual radicalization over the last thirty years open ...
