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 supernatural in our thinking. 3

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 ...

Today, ethics has been largely sidelined, viewed as secondary or subservient to belief. Don Cupitt argues that the time has co...

  • 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...
