New Religion of Life in Everyday Speech

Rating:
Summary: So he looked, and it was (changing)
Review: Cupitt was a man who wrote a column in The Guardian. A long time ago. I didnt read it. Recently I did read the title of a new book of his, and looked for it on bookshop shelves. It wasnt there, but New Religion of Life in Everyday Speech WAS. And what a lovely idea - have a look at what ordinary people actually say. 'People'? Well, US then. Me even. And it astonished me: maybe we are going over a waterfall? Transformation now? Exciting, hopeful - which I now know (by this point I've read 'Mysticism and Modernity' too) are both hallmarks of Cupitt's. So why was his writing so useless to me in the '70s I wonder? I think I had to find my own way. Proferred short cuts were too, too scarey. But I did miss following Cupitt's personal journey as set out in his book-a-year publication epic. Pity that. Anyway go read all THREE 'everyday speech' books. 'Experimental theology'? No, 'observational theology' I guess.
