In Odyssey on the Sea of Faith, Nigel Leaves maps the ways in which the ideas of Don Cupitt have developed, evolved, and changed--from mildly evangelical to liberal, to leading exponent of the view that there is not God out there and that we must create new religious ways of being. This book makes sense of Cupitt. For those interested in the ideas of Don Cupitt, it will be the authoritative resource for many years to come.
Don Cupitt's ideas cannot easily be translated into practice. Or, can they? In this companion volume to Odyssey on the Sea of Faith, Nigel Leaves tackles Cupitt's major themes of religion and ethics. He debates whether Cupitt's ethics provide an adequate response to Christian living after God. Has Cupitt's radical Christian humanism or post-Christianity broken the ecclesiastical ties, or is there still room for maneuver? What is the role of the Sea Faith Networks and its principal writers in this the church of the future? This enthralling book once again makes sense of Cupitt.
