For fans of Marilynne Robinson's theologically rich fiction

These essays explore how her characters address and display their faith

A great insight into the overlap between lit-crit and theology

Anyone who has Marilynne Robinson's novels will no doubt have recognised their theological aspects, and in this study that element is thoughtfully explored.
Anna Hockley

Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Marilynne Robinson is one of the most eminent public intellectuals in America today. In addition to literary elegance, her trilogy of novels (Gilead, Home, and Lila) and her collections of essays offer probing meditations on the Christian faith. Many of these reflections are grounded in her belief that the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformer John Calvin still deserves a hearing in the twenty-first century.

This volume, based on the 2018 Wheaton Theology Conference, brings together the thoughts of leading theologians, historians, literary scholars, and church leaders who engaged in theological dialogue with Robinson's published work—and with the author herself.
