Rare chronology of fundy-liberal-fundy.

This is an absolute gem, due to its tracing a person's theological journey. From being captivated by fundamentalist group's wrapping their arms around him, to his subsequent need for scholarly background, back to solid ground of Scripture.Most memorable is his antics with fellow students making fun of bankruptcy of the "God is Dead Movement" at Cornell, one of its central powerhouses. Each time I reread this, I'm impressed by the man's honesty and compassion. He certainly has been down the roads that most of us don't ever take, and can only speculate what it would be like. Here, that view is provided.Provides interesting contrast to such as "The Flight of Peter Fromm" and Thomas Oden's revealing spiritual journey.
