Emptiness and Brightness
ISBN: 9780944344873 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. If new Platos or Buddhas were to appear today, what would they say about the nature of reality, the human condition and the way to happiness?The period 800-200 b.c.e. the so-called Axial Age was the time when Old World pioneering philosophers and religious teachers laid down the basic ideas by which people have been living ever since. Today those great religious and cultural traditions are coming to an end. We are entering a new Axial Age.Don Cupitt observes that this second Axial Age is one of communication. Everything is accessible to everyone, and everyone can make a contribution. The...

Jesus and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780334043386 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For a generation after his death his surviving associates preserved good traditions about the message of Jesus. 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 him quickly followed, and the surviving traditions of his actual teaching became totally blurred - as they still are.Since then, nobody has ventured to assess Jesus seriously, as a thinker. But today, as the supernatural beliefs fade, and better reconstructions of his teaching have become available,...

The Meaning of the West
ISBN: 9780334042020 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 the same time they successfully demand Christian behaviour from it, in the form of repentance for the past and generous aid in perpetuity. To sort all this out, Don Cupitt proposes a reinterpretation of Christian...

Jesus and the Gospel of God
ISBN: 9780718823979 / Angielski / Twarda / 1979 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Jesus and the Gospel of God, Don Cupitt takes a second look at the doctrine of the incarnation, going back to Scripture itself and especially to the person of Jesus as we see him in the synoptic gospels. His declared aim is to restore the real Jesus to his proper centrality in the Christian faith, and to focus attention on the man and his message rather than on doctrines about him.
He begins by making a distinction between the primitive eschatological faith and the developed dogmatic faith. The primitive faith, he believes, was at its purest in John the Baptist,...

Creative Faith: Religion as a Way of Worldmaking
ISBN: 9781598151534 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 come to give ethics priority in defining and shaping religious life. As he puts it, "No longer should we aim to conserve the self, preparing for eternity: we must simply expend it, by living generously."

The Fountain: A Secular Theology
ISBN: 9780334043959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During the past 30 years, what we used to call 'the passing show of existence' has turned into a global torrent of electronic communication and cultural change. Everywhere, Tradition is collapsing. Local fundamentalist reactions - hailed by some as evidence that 'God is back' - cannot hope to stem the flood. They are merely symptoms of faith's increasing desperation. In our time, Don Cupitt says, religion is no longer about gaining immortality, or the forgiveness of our sins: it is about becoming reconciled to our life's transience, to time and death. This ultra-clear and secular 'theology'...

What Is a Story?
ISBN: 9780334024194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 to say just how stories convey truth that until recently theologians were still trying to 'demythologize' religious belief.
Now, however, philosophy has at last become more friendly to literature. There is talk of... 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...

The Last Philosophy
ISBN: 9780334025863 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this new book, for the first time he sets out his own systematic philosophy of life. He is reviving an old question: how far in the direction of religious belief, and eternal happiness, is it possible to fo on the basis of reason alone? His 'expressionist' philosophy leads him to conlusions that are both very startling and more positive than his critics might expect, and in an Appendix he sketches their theological corollaries. In effect, he is providing the new 'ultralight' Christian humanism with its philosophical background and its world view.

Taking Leave of God
ISBN: 9780334028406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the book which first generated international celebrity and notoriety for its author, and which fire-started a debate about the supernatural claims of Christianity. Rejecting Christian doctrines and metaphysics in favour of the religious consciousness which characterises human identity, Cupitt 'takes leave' of God by abandoming objectice theism. Whatever one thinks of the author's views, and of the non-realist beliefs he has been seen to champion, Taking Leave of God remains an essential work, and one of the most controversial theological interventions of its age.

The Old Creed and the New
ISBN: 9780334040538 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 content merely to simplify and liberalize the creed. Today's radical theology, he argues, contrasts by beginning to produce something so different from traditional religion that the public may at first feel baffled by it....

Theology's Strange Return
ISBN: 9780334043720 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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. Most important, themes of the old theology are currently returning to us in new and strange guises. Thus God, the strict Judge who searches our hearts and demands inner integrity, returns in the critical thinking which makes everyone trained in it 'his own hardest taskmaster'. Again, the biblical...

Crisis of Moral Authority
ISBN: 9780334019589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 critics of Christianity have rejected it chiefly on moral grounds. Yet, because they have tended to suffer from an entrenched sense of their own moral superiority, Christians have never really taken this fact seriously...

Above Us Only Sky
ISBN: 9781598150117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Don Cupitt is best known for developing a non-realistic interpretation of Christian doctrine and an ever-more radically antirealist position in philosophy.Cupitt has sought to go beyond ecclesiastical religion to a purely this-worldly humanistic religion of life: he argues for a kingdomversion of Christianity that will bring it closer to the original Jewish Jesus.

Turns of Phrase: Radical Theology from A-Z
ISBN: 9780334044192 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 is a form of religious naturalism based, not like Spinoza's on geometrical reasoning, but upon the more biological idea of an uprush of energies pouring out into symbolic expression. He points out that the non-arrival of...

Meaning of It All in Everyday Speech
ISBN: 9780334027867 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In his Everyday Speech books, Don Cupitt is introducing a new empirical way of doing theology by showing from ordinary language what religious outlook currently belongs to us all. In The New Religion of Life in Everyday Speech he showed from current idioms how life itself has recently become the new religious object. Now in this new book he studies our use of the terms It and It All, to show how ordinary language sees the human condition. The answer turns out to be a form of radical religious humanism: language seeks to affirm and defend the integrity of our human converse by resisting the...
