![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The collection stems from the Fall 2018 Theology Conference at Wheaton College. I think many readers will make the same comment as I did, and probably about other pages. What came before page 128 was also helpful, with some critique, considerable praise, and a consistent effort to think with, against, or into Robinson’s fiction and essays. But then an essay by Rowan Williams, who I think is one of the best readers of Robinson, still lay ahead, as did the beautiful plates and accompanying essay by artist Joel Sheesley, an essay by Robinson on “The Protestant Conscience,” and not one but two interviews, the first by Wheaton professors Vincent Bacote (Theology) and Christina Bieber Lake (English) of Robinson and Williams together, and the second by Wheaton president Philip Ryken of Robinson by herself. When I read page 128, part of the “Space/Time/Doctrine” essay by Tiffany Eberle Kriner, I said to myself that this page was worth the price of the book. If you looked up this review, chances are good that you will want to read this collection of essays for yourself-unless you have not read anything by Marilynne Robinson yet, in which case do that first.
