If you’re looking for something to read, you might want to consider Marilynne Robinson’s novel, Gilead. It’s a wonderful little book about an Iowa minister who, since he is close to the end of his life, is writing a letter to his young son. In the course of the letter, John Ames wanders off on a number of interesting theological paths — from Feuerbach to Barth. The imagery is wonderful–particularly as he is discussing baptism and eucharist, but also when he recalls the exploits of his abolitionist-grandfather.
A little book, but definitely one worth spending some time with….
Glad to hear you liked the book. I may have to pick it up.
