Impossible Loves

by Don Cupitt

Book Overview

Back when belief in predestination was powerful, there was only one way life could go. Today we have a stronger sense of contingency and find ourselves clinging to lost loves, missed opportunities, and other lives we might have lived. Don Cupitt meditates on the religious significance of all our many lost and impossible loves. The impossible, he says, has replaced the supernatural in our thinking.

Review of "Impossible Loves"

This book was well written and enjoyable to read. The theme "Impossible Loves" is a novel idea and demands considerable reflection. The idea is in contrast to many claims about love in religion and art.
