Gilead
A good friend recently gave me Gilead, a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Marilynne Robinson. The book is full of wonderful quotes which pastors in particular would appreciate. For example:
I blame the radio for sowing a good deal of confusion where theology is concerned. And television is worse. You can spend forty years teaching people to be awake to the fact of mystery and then some fellow with no more theological sense than a jackrabbit gets himself a radio ministry and all your work is forgotten. I do wonder where it will end.
