From Yorkshire schoolboy to philosopher and theologian of international renown, John Hick tells his life story in this warm and absorbing autobiography. Hick paints a vivid picture of twentieth-century society, from 1950s America to racial tensions in England and in apartheid-era South Africa. He recounts the events that have shaped his life, including his early conversion to evangelical Christianity, his role as a conscientious objector in the Second World War, and his gradual -- often controversial -- move towards a religious pluralism embracing all the great world faiths. As a thoughtful reflection on the changing face of religion, and a revealing insight into one man's spiritual and intellectual journey, these memoirs will also appeal to the many who have been influenced by John Hick's seminal work on the great human concerns: from belief in the Transcendent, to the role of faith, and the nature of death and beyond.
