5.0 out of 5 starsBliss was it in that dawn to be alive
By J. Mann VINE VOICE on 13 May 2011
This is a follow-up to Cupitt's longer book `The Religion of Being'. In it, Cupitt suggested that the world consists of Being, Man (human reality) and language, a sort of secular trinity. In this book he continues to reflect on the fact that each of the three elements in our world are constantly passing away - or at least changing, passing through time - we live in a world of constant change.

Cupitt suggests that originally religion wanted ultimate things to be unchanging - God had to be the same yesterday, today and forever - but that now we are actually happy that all things must pass. Being, Man and Language are like a flowing fountain - everything flows and flows and flows until it flows away and is replaced by something else.

Originally religion was afraid of contingency, vulnerability, weakness, emptiness - particularly as symbolised in Woman and Nature, such things were ruled over by the Father King who provided stability and eternity, but now we are no longer afraid of being part of something that ebbs and flows, that changes and moves on, we no longer need something that overcomes change, because we have discovered we are happy with gentle, sweet, purely-contingent forthcomingness. We prefer the mess and uncertainty of democracy to the regulation of a monarch or totalitarian rule, we have learned to live in a free market and not desire a command economy.

Cupitt seems to be describing a new type of religion. Being - or more exactly Becoming - is light and changing, it is the Way Things Are, and so replaces God, the eternal unchanging ruler.Read more ›
