Publisher's Synopsis
A controversial and Radical theologian looks at the traditional roots of religion and proposes a basis for a belief that will reflect the post modern world in which we live. Traditional religious beliefs have reflected and grown out of the structures of the societies that produced them. Cuppit both explores this theory of the history of religious faith and meaning and suggests a future for religious belief, proposing that instead of retaining traditional forms and increasingly isolating itself from the wider world, it is crucial that religion must change, moving away from traditional concepts, in particular that of a God or Gods, but equally that our societies desparately need Religious faiths as a basis for social stability and morality.
