Abstract

Through in-depth interviews with 9 adult Jewish nonbelievers, this study explored the onset of their nonbelief and the degree of their spiritual well-being and compares these results with 9 Jewish believers. Findings indicate a need to revise current theories of religious development and also suggest the potential value of counseling intervention for these nonbelievers.
