Do you envy the suicide bombers their firm faith in life after
death? Probably not: you think they are deluded. People in the west
have quite recently lost all their old ideas about a Better World
Hereafter. We now accept that we are already in the Last World, the
world with no further reality beyond it, and that we'd better live
our life to the full while we have it. If so, then what happens to
the traditional problem of Christian origins? Jesus preached the
arrival of the Last World, and urged us to begin a new 'solar' kind
of living. His message was one of secular fulfilment. But the
Apostolic Faith, by raising him to the supernatural world, took us
all a whole dispensation back, to the Penultimate World, a world
dominated by supernatural fears and hopes, a world of watching and
waiting under strict discipline. The new era announced by Jesus was
thus aborted, probably during the late 40s. But today we need, not
the New Testament message, but a Last Testament for the Last World,
which is our world. Don Cupitt attempts some midwifery. It is time
for the faith to be born properly, and to become public property,
not a clerical monopoly.
