Confession of a Buddhist Atheist Stephen Batchelor
Publisher: Spiegel & Grau

Stephen Batchelor's "Confession of a Buddhist Atheist": Book Review. I just finished Stephen Batchelor's "Confession of a Buddhist Atheist" and am impressed by his writing style.

Having seen "The Unwinking Gaze" made me much less enamored of him, when I had already been questioning his "place" now in the Buddhist hierarchy.
