Summary

• "Cupitt's ideas have been acutely controversial in Britain for twenty years, and he and his followers have often been in trouble with church authorities. Most recently, he has sought to go beyond ecclesiastical religion to a purely this-worldly humanistic religion of life. But he is still not quite post-Christian: on the contrary, he argues for a "kingdom" version of Christianity that will bring it closer to the original Jewish Jesus.".
• "Written over a period of twenty years, these essays show the development of Cupitt's highly distinctive theology before a variety of audiences."--BOOK JACKET.
