About the Contributor(s):John D. Barbour is Professor of Religion and Boldt Distinguished Teaching Chair in the Humanities at St. Olaf College. He is the author of scholarly essays and four books, including Versions of Deconversion: Autobiography and the Loss of Faith (1994) and The Value of Solitude: The Ethics and Spirituality of Aloneness in Autobiography (2004).
This text examines the work of a broad selection of authors in order to discover the reasons for their loss of faith and to analyse the ways they have interpreted that loss. For some the experience of deconversion led to another religious faith while others turned to atheism or agnosticism.
Most people feel ambivalent about solitude, both loving and fearing it depending on how they experience being alone at certain points in their lives. In ""The Value of Solitude"", John Barbour explores some of the ways in which experiences of solitude, both positive and negative, have been interpreted as religiously significant.
