In 40 years of writing Don Cupitt has coined many new words and
phrases to communicate his ideas, but he has written so much that
critics have split him up into stages, and readers complain of
obscurity. Piqued, he here represents an entertaining 'Devil's
Dictionary' of his own ideas, with cross-links from entry to entry
guiding the reader around his system. Cupitt's teaching is a form
of religious naturalism based, not like Spinoza's on geometrical
reasoning, but upon the more biological idea of an uprush of
energies pouring out into symbolic expression. He points out that
the non-arrival of the Kingdom left the early Christians looking up
vigilantly towards a better world that was yet to come. Today,
people no longer expect any further world after this one, and
Church-religion no longer works. It is too inhibited. Instead, we
need to work out, and start living out, the philosophy and the
ethic of the final world, now. It is a world in which the original
spirituality of the 'inner life' is replaced by a new religion of
'self-outing' and putting on a 'good show' - the religion of
'solar' generosity that Cupitt attributes to the original Jesus.
