Sea of Faith
In this rich and strange BBC documentary series the 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 Friedrich Nietzsche, Galileo, Pascal, David Friedrich Strauss, Søren Kierkegaard, Jung, Freud, Arthur Schopenhaurer, Annie Besant, Swami Vivekananda, Albert Schweitzer, Charles Darwin, Ludwig Wittgenstein and others. This learned, yet accessible, & frankly slightly odd series, is just the sort of thing you don't see on TV anymore.
