"Out of the Void" an Autobiography by Vern Barnet.

How did a fanatically fundamentalist boy become a militant atheist in his youth, develop a love of both mythology and science, write the longest dissertation in his theological school's history (on the Buddhist theme of the Void), pursue a career in the ministry, found the Kansas City Interfaith Council, and develop a post-modern perspective that embraces both Christianity and all species of atheism? Vern Barnet sketches his spiritual development and invites others to consider their own.
