Sea of Faith

In this rich and strange series of programmes philosopher Don Cupitt discursively explores how Christian thought nurtured, and responded to, an increasingly materialist/realist/rationalist modern world-view . Rev. Prof. Cupitt consideredly meanders through the works and lives of a miscellany of thoughtful coves including Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal, René Descartes, Kierkegaard, Jung, Freud, David Friedrich Strauss, Charles Darwin, Schopenhaurer, Annie Besant, Vivekananda, Albert Schweitzer, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and others. This learned, yet accessible, and frankly slightly odd series, is just the sort of this you don't see on TV anymore.
