Met het aanbieden van de volledige tekst van de lezingen die A. Vergote in februari 1989 heeft gehouden in het kader van de Albert Dondeyne-Leerstoel, komt deze laatste tot zijn eerste volwaardige publicatie. Het leek daarbij niet overbodig de figuur van professor Dondeyne nog even kort te belichten, zeker niet wanneer men aan de jongere lezers denkt. De wijze lag voor de hand: professor Vergote zelf heeft destijds in de Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses een In memoriam geschreven, dat ook de ouderen, die Dondeyne persoonlijk gekend hebben, ten zeerste zullen waarderen. Uit het Frans vertaald, gaat het hier de tekst van de lezingen vooraf. De laatste lezing, die in het Engels werd voorgedragen, werd door de auteur zelf in het Nederlands herschreven.

Drawing on ethnographic inquiry and the anthropological literature on doubt and atheism, this volume explores people's reluctance to pursue religion. The contributors capture the experiences of godless people and examine their perspectives on the role of religion in their personal and public lives. In doing so, the volume contributes to a critical understanding of the processes of disengagement from religion and reveals the challenges and paradoxes that godless people face.
