This short 1988 book offers an alternative reading of the impact of
modernity on Christian faith to that advanced by Don Cupitt in the
TV series and book The Sea of Faith. It is a spirited defence of
belief in the objective reality of God and in life after death, as
opposed to Cupitt's radically interiorised and expressivist
conception of religion. As attractive as many may find a denial of
the traditional doctrines of the Church in favour of an
anti-metaphysical, non-dogmatic expressivist version of Christian
faith, Hebblethwaite insists that of greater importance is the
question of truth at stake here, and it is on the question of truth
that he focusses his attention. After arguing against Cupitt's
response to the modern situation, the author tries to show how
belief in an objective God is not only possible despite the impact
of modern science and historical criticism, but indeed highly
plausible.
