Abstract

An extraordinary religious change has taken place during the past few decades, as the word 'God' has largely disappeared from common speech, and the old religious language, attitudes, feelings and rituals have increasingly come to be refocussed around life. Don Cupitt discovered this when he had the idea of collecting all the philosophically and religiously interesting idioms now current in everyday speech, and his findings are the subject of this book, which also represents a new departure for him.
