The Great Questions of Life by Don Cupitt

In everyday speech we often hear people jokingly mention what they call the 'ultimate questions', the 'big questions', or 'the great questions' of life. In Don Cupitt's judgment, however, these questions are no joking matter. He believes that there is no higher truth than the truth that is built into our everyday speech and that, therefore, these questions should be taken seriously. In The Great Questions of Life, he collects and classifies all the great questions, in the wordings that are most familiar to us, and interprets and answers them. He shows how the decline of the old religion has led to the return of the great questions and explains why they have become important to us in modern times.
