This short book is intended to be read in an evening or even a
sitting, though it provokes reflections that will go on for far
longer. What it has to say is largely directed at the Christian
faith, though it may apply to Judaism and Islam as well. Professor
Sharpe is a philosopher and writes as a post-Christian. He does not
believe in God for moral reasons and argues that in some ways
morality is corrupted by religion. He claims that religious belief
does not necessarily make its possessor an authority on matters
moral and that spokesmen and spokeswomen for religion are often
badly wrong about moral questions as a result of their religious
commitment. Some virtues cease to be virtues when given a religious
context, and consequently a religious life is not, in many
respects, a good life to lead. Professor Sharpe has few quarrels
with the teaching of Jesus and has tried to develop his argument as
far as possible on the basis of values shared by Christians and
non-Christians. But he firmly believes in the autonomy of morality.
God is not required to guarantee morality and all the sureties and
recognizances of morality are internal.
