Prior to the late nineteenth century, classical Christianity
developed no social ethics. Rather, it concerned itself with
self-purification. Christians needed only to be `in a state of
grace', unsullied and ready for the return of Christ. Muslims, in
contrast, have always attempted to Islamicize the world. Today,
many Christians and activist post-Christians are moving in that
same direction. For them Christianity no longer entails a private
practice of self-purification, but instead represents an ethical
decision to struggle patiently and lovingly towards a new `reality'
in this life. In Creative Faith, Don Cupitt argues that Christians
need to replace a heaven-obsessed theology with a new theology of
moral striving. No longer should they aim to conserve the self,
preparing for eternity: they must simply expend it, by living
generously.
