The Meaning of the West

An apologia for secular christianity

Author: Don Cupitt

In The Meaning of the West, Don Cupitt, founder of the Sea of Faith movement and one of Britain’s most controversial thinkers, argues that even for those who profess no faith meaning can be found in Western Christian culture.

Don Cupitt proposes a reinterpretation of Christian history, arguing that the meaning of the West is not Catholic Christian, but radical Christian.  The original Jesus was a secular figure, a utopian teacher of ethical wisdom.Cupitt argues that the core of Western culture is simply the old Christian spirituality extraverted.

Today, Christian supernatural doctrine is dead, but the secular ‘West’ is Christianity itself is now emerging in its final, ‘Kingdom’ form.
