| Summary | "Modern Skepticism: A Journey Through the Land of Doubt and Back Again" by Joseph Barker is an autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the author’s journey of faith, detailing his early enthusiasm for Christianity, his eventual doubts and struggles with skepticism, and his quest for truth through personal experiences. It delves into the causes of disbelief, the nature of faith, and the conflicts within religious doctrine, aiming to reconcile personal belief with reason and evidence. The opening portion introduces the author, who reflects on his life as a minister and expresses concern about the spread of infidelity in Christianity. He recounts his early joys and successes in ministry, only to reveal a profound transformation as he faced challenges to his belief system. Barker examines various sources of skepticism, including personal vice, the contradiction in religious teachings, and the perceived failings of the church. The narrative sets the stage for a deep exploration of the author's internal conflicts regarding faith and doctrine, as he seeks to understand his own beliefs and the broader implications of skepticism on society.
