520 1 $a"Whether rescuing Calvinism and its creator, the French theologian Jean Calvin, from the repressive puritan stereotype, or considering how the McGuffey readers were inspired by midwestern abolitionists, or the divide between the Bible and Darwinism, Marilynne Robinson repeatedly sends her reader back to the primary texts that are central to the development of American culture but are little read or acknowledged today. This is a celebration of ideas, the old arts of civilization, and life's mystery, as Robinson writes in "Psalm Eight": "I have spent my life watching, not to see beyond the world, merely to see, great mystery, what is plainly before my eyes. ... The scene of miracle is here, among us.""--BOOK JACKET.
