He debates whether Cupitt's ethics provide an adequate response to Christian living after God. Has Cupitt's radical Christian humanism or post-Christianity broken the ecclesiastical ties, or is there still room for maneuver? What is the role of the Sea Faith Networks and its principal writers in this the church of the future? This enthralling book once again makes sense of Cupitt.
