Description
Above Us Only Sky by Don Cupitt presents a systematic theology of a secular, purely this-worldly, and radically-democratic affirmation of ordinary life. This new religious consciousness has been quietly emerging around the world, eschewing visible organization and non-rational doctrinal claims. In 27 brief slogans, Cupitt outlines his vision for a faith that is grounded in critical thinking, systematic self-criticism, and perpetual reform. He sets this philosophy against its philosophical background, spirituality, and relation to other faiths, arguing that it represents the legacy and long-awaited fulfillment of Christianity. This book offers a unique perspective on the nature of religion and spirituality in the modern world, inviting readers to consider the possibilities of a life-affirming, this-worldly faith.
