4.0 out of 5 starsSimple spiritual autobiography from a complicated man
By Kathy F. Cannata on August 16, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
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.)

4.0 out of 5 starsAn authentic and open autobiography of a faithful intellectual
By Mark P. Brown VINE VOICE on January 22, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Dr. Allen turns his sharp mind on himself and the results are often moving if probably overly intellectual for most modern readers. What this book does is present an honest life of a one of the cloud of witnesses. He starts with what he calls his spiritual awakening upon seeing Indian Poverty as a young adult in the 1950's. The great clash with most modernity is that this awakening if often the death of faith today. We are too impatient and jump to easy answers. Dr. Allen doesn't, and he tells us how he has wrestled with the questions raised by that trip during his life. These struggles are largely examined through words - both literature and scripture. Regrets (not helping the man who launched his career finish his own) and joys, longings and loves are examined and ultimately used to point to our dependency. Even much of our own lives do not make sense to us. The honest life wrestles with that fact, but turns toward the God revealed to us as the completion of our limitation.

4.0 out of 5 starsSpiritual writing that finds us where we live
By Jeffrey W Dandoy on May 5, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This a vein of spiritual riches for a reader willing to mine it. I suspect the subtitle of "autobiography" was not Dr. Allen's original idea but was put on the cover to attract interest. He was a deep thinker and a wise man and those qualities are reflected in these pages.
