After God The Future of Religion

"Cupitt (Philosophy and Theology at Cambridge University) claims that the very foundations of contemporary religion have been threatened by a "collapse of meaning" that encompasses our current global culture. Rather than mourn this loss of traditional religious belief, Cupitt revels in the new opportunities of a postmodern religion unfettered by inconvenient categories such as sin and superstition....His cogent, artful explanations of complicated philosophical concepts are clearly the strength of the book....Ultimately, now that God is dead, Cupitt believes that we will worship God more purely, since human beings always seem to have more regard for the dead than for the living. Religion will become art, a 'poetical theology' that will rejuvenate our culture."Cupitt, Don is the author of 'After God The Future of Religion', published 1997 under ISBN 9780465045143 and ISBN 0465045146.
