內容簡介：
James A. Pike, the fifth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
California, was a man of many faces. To some he was an iconoclast,
a man decades ahead of his time who modernized the Church and
rendered it more progressive and open to inquiry. To others he was
a heretic, who polarized and desecrated the Church. Always
controversial and charismatic, he took America by storm in the
1960s with his best-selling books, and his weekly television talk
show, Dean Pike, which won him a cover story in Time. A
Passionate Pilgrim is an illuminating biography of Pike, and an
examination of the tragedies, triumphs, and difficulties that
shaped his spectacular rise to fame and his mysterious death in the
Israeli desert.
