"Dreams and Visions" is the autobiography of Dr. Kurt Bangert, theologian, poverty expert, public relations officer, and book author from Germany, who lived for extended years in Europe, America, Africa and Asia. The book recounts his numerous journeys to nearly 100 countries across five continents. Having already travelled around the world as a young man, his work as a development expert took him to countless cultures, from Malawi to Micronesia and from Mongolia to Papua New Guinea. He also shares his theological and ideological journey from a fundamentalist Christian to becoming a liberal theologian with an expertise on early Islam, on the social question and on the question of God.

Dr. Kurt Bangert was born in Germany, studied theology in Tübingen, Marburg and the United States. He lived in the U.S., Burkina Faso, Malaysia, the Philippines and now again in Germany. For most of his professional life, he worked as an expert for development cooperation and public relations before becoming an author of numerous books and articles on questions of poverty, theology, and comparative religion.
