Back in the 1960s, I was a teenage UFO investigator. I grew up to become a professor of religious studies--my specialty, religious traditions of heavenly ascent.After publishing five scholarly books, I came to realize there were things I wanted to say about faith, and the loss of faith, that couldn't be said in academic writing.
