Sea of Faith Christchurch Group

At our next meeting, we will continue looking at Don Cupitt’s Sea of Faith programmes. This time, the focus is on sacred scriptures. First, Luther drove a wedge between scripture and tradition, and then modern biblical scholarship treated sacred scripture as literature to be investigated using methods that can be applied to any literature.

In particular, Don Cupitt looks at the life of Albert Schweitzer, most known as a missionary doctor in Africa, but also a biblical scholar who wrote a devastating critique of other scholars’ attempts to write a life of Jesus, and an expert on J S Bach.
