Persuasively arguing for a "kingdom" version of Christianity,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Is Nothing Sacred?: The Non-Realist Philosophy of Religion: Selected Essays (Perspectives in Continental Philosophy, 28) (Hardcover)
Is Nothing Sacred?: The Non-Realist Philosophy of Religion by educator and philosopher Don Cupitt is an outstanding selection of informative and challenging essays examining a "non-realist" interpretation of Christian doctrine. Persuasively arguing for a "kingdom" version of Christianity that resonates more strongly with the original Jewish Jesus Christ, Professor Cupitt draws his philosophy and theology in part from the wisdom of Kant and Kierkegaard, while also accepting insights from Buddhism and the contemporary philosopher Richard Rorty. Is Nothing Sacred? is a provocative, intriguing discussion, and highly recommended for academic philosophy, theology, and Christian Studies collections and supplemental reading lists.
