The Meaning of the West - Paperback

by Don Cupitt (Author)

Don Cupitt proposes a reinterpretation of Christian history, arguing that the meaning of the West is not Catholic Christian, but radical Christian. The original Jesus was a secular figure, a utopian teacher of ethical wisdom. He argues that the core of Western culture is simply the old Christian spirituality extraverted. Today, Christian supernatural doctrine is dead, but in the secular 'West' Christianity itself is now emerging in its final, 'Kingdom' form.
