Above Us Only Sky Summary

Above Us Only Sky by Don Cupitt

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 self-criticism and perpetual reform, has spread around the whole world in modern science, technology, critical history, and liberal democracy. In Above Us Only Sky, in 27 brief slogans, he presents a systematic theology of this religion of ordinary life, setting it against its philosophical background, its spirituality and its relation to other faiths. It is, he says, the legacy and the long-awaited fulfilment of Christianity.

Above Us Only Sky Reviews

a | the fullest exposition to date of Cupitt's new 'everyday' religion of life. Brilliance and daring of thought and style are, by now, only to be expected from Cupitt, but this draws together many of the threads of the last ten years' of his work in a scintillatingly readable declaration of faith and hope.a George Pattison, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford a If there is one Cupitt book to read, Above Us Only Sky is it. It offers the clearest and most complete expression of Don Cupitta s philosophy to date, and will appeal to both long-time Cupitt fans and newcomers seeking an introduction to his philosophy.a a John C. Kelly, Sanford Distinguished Professor of the Humanities, Emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno
