Marilynne Robinson, Theologian of the Ordinary posits that
Robinson's widely celebrated novels and essays are best understood
as emerging from a foundational theology that has 'the Ordinary' as
its source. Reading Robinson's published work, and drawing on an
original interview with Robinson, Andrew Cunning constructs an
authentically Robinsonian theology that is at once distinctly
American and conversant with contemporary continental philosophy of
religion. This book demonstrates that the Ordinary is the source of
Robinson's writing and, as a phenomenon that opens onto a surplus
of meaning, is where Robinson's notion of transcendence emerges.
Robinson's theology is one centered on the material reality of the
world and on the subjective nature of one's encounter with oneself
and the physical stuff of existence. Arguing that the Ordinary
demands an artistic response, this book reads Robinson's fiction as
her theological response to the surplus of meaning in ordinary
experience. Under the themes of grace, language, time and self,
Cunning locates the ordinary, everyday grounding of Robinson's
metaphysics.
