About this book

Dan Barker recounts his transformation from evangelical Christian preacher to atheist. After nearly twenty years of evangelical preaching, missionary work, and Christian songwriting, Barker describes the intellectual and psychological journey that led him from fundamentalism to freethought. The book examines topics including biblical morality, the historicity of Jesus, biblical contradictions, and the resurrection. Barker argues for the benefits of trusting reason and human kindness over living under fear of judgment and moral condemnation. The book serves as both a resource for skeptics and a challenge to believers.
