Is Nothing Sacred: The Non-Realist Philosophy of Religion: Selected Essays
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 “kingdom” version of Christianity that will bring it closer to the original Jewish Jesus. This book contains essays written over twenty years that appear in book form for…
A Secular Christian
Jesus had preached the arrival of Kingdom. It was time to start living the life of the Last World, as if you were standing at the very end of Time. And that is the position in which I find myself, a secular Christian at the end of my world. At times I have called my religion ‘Emptiness and Brightness’, ‘Empty radical humanism’, ‘the religion of life’, and ‘Kingdom theology’. It’s nothing very special; it’s where we post-Christian Westerners now a…
After the end of the world
After the end of metaphysical realism, Cupitt describes a purely immanent, and language-mediated, vision of human life and of the world. True religion in such a world is a solar, or extravertive, commitment to life. Transience is not escaped: it is simply affirmed
James Walters, Baudrillard and Theology
What’s the Point of It All
In the modern period the decline of traditional dogmatic religious belief has led to a remarkable return of the great questions of life that so worried the first speculative thinkers 2500 years ago. As a result, the first priority for modern religious enquirers is not ‘what must I do to be saved?’, but ‘what’s the point of it all?’ Why does anything at all exist

Is Nothing Sacred?: The Non-Realist Philosophy of Religion
"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 …
Free Christianity
This chapter points out that the essence of Christianity is distinguished not as anything religious but as a philosophical doctrine. The chapter affirms a religion where the story and symbol go hand in hand with values and practices. The chapter denies that knowledge should be justified. Rather, proving its objectivity and realism is more important. The chapter explicates the difference between a realist and a non-realist with the purpose of expl…
