A review by sjc1992
Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.75

An insightful and beautiful analysis of one of the Bible's most challenging books. Robinson's main thesis is despite the common "vengeful God" narrative, Genesis is about a truely grace-filled God. He keeps his covenant with the chosen family and humanity despite how little we deserve his mercy. Robinson's Calvinism is treaded throughout her argument. I have personally always struggled with Calivism but Robinson's emphasize God's grace throughout her work showcases the most compelling and beautiful aspects of Calvinism.
