Joseph Barker, an English Methodist minister, tells how he lost his faith, became a public champion of freethought and finally found his way back to Christianity. He examines the causes of unbelief, including bad feeling and harsh doctrine, his changing views of Wesley and the Bible, extracts from his diary, and the dangers of a rigid theory of verbal inspiration.
