Don Cupitt , Dean of Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, concludes his exploration of the revolution in ideas that has brought humanity from the secure world view of the Middle Ages to today's crisis of faith. 6: The New World
In a Swiss market square a madman announces the death of God. Friedrich Nietzsche is writing the dramatic climax to the story of the rise of individualism and critical thinking which began with the Enlightenment. But in his own life Nietzsche - most thoroughgoing of all atheists - forced himself to the edge of the abyss.
Is Christian faith possible at all in the bleak new world ot the 20th century? Don Cupitt follows the developing thought of the most enigmatic philosopher and Christian of our own times - Ludwig Wittgenstein.
