Simple spiritual autobiography from a complicated man

Diogenes Allen is a legend in Princeton. For more than 40 years he has been a stand out among the heady group of intellectual superstars. He is a force of nature, whose raw gifts place him among Peter Brown, Bruce McCormick, David Willis, Bruce Metzger, and just a handful of others that make up the greatest theological minds of the town. And if that were not enough, he has also been a recognized master in the philosophical guild as well. His work on Kierkegaard, Simone Weil, and others have become standards. So I expected some deep but difficult going here. Not so -- this is Prof. Allen at his most relaxed and accessible. This would be profitable reading not only for his professional colleagues, ministers, philosophy grad students and seminarians. It would also be a good read for any interested and thoughtful layperson. (Disclaimer: Allen is considered 'conservative' by his mainline colleagues and fellow PCUSA Presbyterians, but to some evangelical readers he may be less orthodox than we'd hope in just a very few places here.)
