Thank you very much.

This actors voice sounds familiar. I wonder if he was the voice actor for Elrond in the BBC Radio dramatization of LotR.

Don Cupitt

@@chrischibnall593 I had the immense privilege to be one of his students. He also supervised my dissertation on CS Lewis, making a gift of his own first edition copy of T'ill We Have Faces which was the focus of my work. He also was in the habit of inviting his students to his home the night before our first exam! I was puzzled by this but realised it was his way of 'forcing' us to relax before the event and it worked brilliantly - a truly inspirational teacher and a fabulous human being

How about that existential music!

The only thing to fear is fear..this guy kinda looks like Michael J. Fox from teen Wolf

Don Cupitt was a raving Atheist.

Working for the BBC, that might have been the least of his foibles...

[@philmathieu1017]

Well, as one of his students I have to totally disagree, he was strongly skeptical of institutional religion but I do not recognise your description of his views which I did not come across once in all his lectures and supervisions.

Existentailism sounds like bullcrap to me, I don't want inaccurate belief, with methodical individualism, together with knowing life backwards, that's untrue and I don't think it's accurate, the only truth and it's not in existentialism, is individualism and therefore not following other people's beliefs, for me that's individualist anarchism, botany, batrachology, lepidopterology, and pessimism.
