Rank: #15137 in eBooksPublished on: 2004-11-15Released on: 2004-11-15Format: Kindle eBook 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.Eschewing “Theological Twinkies” - A Substansive Examination of the Ultimate QuestionsBy Trevor HabermeyerMarilynne Robinson’s Gilead is a meditation on what religion is and what meaning it might still have to offer modern man. “Meditation” is a deliberate word choice, as the narrative is literally the extended reflections of a dying preacher towards his young son who he will likely not be able to raise to adulthood. As such, the story naturally invites the reader to reflect on which memories and admonitions they would want to leave for posterity if faced with a similar predicament.I have the sense from talking with many atheists and non-religious people that “religious” is often seen as synonymous with “preachy”, especially when the religion in question is Christianity (case in point: whatever derivative, “faith-promoting” Christian cinema is currently being featured at your nearest multiplex or Walmart discount bin). Fortunately, as with all good literature that intelligently addresses the subject of religion, Gilead could hardly be accused of being evangelical, even by the most skeptical critic. In fact, I was particularly attracted to the book because an atheist pundit I occasionally follow claimed it was one of the few books that might convince an atheist that faith actually has some value. If that’s not a good enough endorsement for a curious secular audience, I don’t know what is.As much as I love theological nuggets in my novels, Gilead is slow digging. It’s about what you would expect of a novel set in a small Iowa town in the middle of nowhere. I didn’t find any of characters outside of the narrator, John Ames, to be particularly compelling, either. That said, as a thematically-driven, rather than character-driven, narrative, I feel that Gilead is best read for the fresh insights it reveals about the meaning and value of ordinary religious life. Robinson provides a satisfying meal of meat where milk is too frequently provided, eschewing “theological Twinkies” in favor of a more substantive examination of the ultimate questions; one that a wide audience of believers and non-believers can mutually enjoy.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.A little boy brought joy to their home but at age 76 Ames is ...By Gary E. GilleyRobinson won the Pulitzer Prize for this fictional story of an aging and dying pastor who wants to leave for his young son a written legacy of his life. John Ames is a third generation pastor in the little town of Gilead, Iowa. He has spent virtually his whole life in Gilead, and most of it faithfully pastoring a little church. He married young and had a child, but both his wife and little girl died shortly after the child was born. Ames spent the rest of his life single until age 67 when a young woman attended a Pentecost service at which he was preaching. He immediately fell for her and marriage soon followed. A little boy brought joy to their home but at age 76 Ames is dying of heart disease and he is acutely aware that his son would never remember him, at least nothing of significance. So the pastor used his remaining energies to write his memoirs, not just events but of his thoughts, what his philosophy and theology was and what concerned him about the future for his wife and son. The result is a thoughtful, heartwarming story about life, what is important, and how we want to be remembered.Reviewed by Gary E. Gilley, Pastor-teacher, Southern View Chapel3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.Amazingly beautifulBy Kindle CustomerIf you are looking for a fast-paced novel with a beginning, middle and end; with a straightforward story, go elsewhere. If you value language, poetry, language as song, theology disguised as fiction, small town living cloaked in spirituality, spend time here in Gilead.I won't bother with the external tale, an old and dying man, writing a letter to his very young son, to be read when he is long gone, and the son an adult, for that is only the framework upon which the author has hung the questions we should all ask ourselves, questions like: what does it mean to be human; how to love well and fully; what qualities make a person good; how am I seen in the eyes of the world; how do I see myself; what do I call God.This should not be a fast read. I think it is meant to be read in small units, much as it was written, then pondered for awhile. And perhaps read again. Read the words printed, then "read" the words unspoken.If you are not religious, don't be put off by the idea that this is a story narrated by a minister, from a family of ministers, and there are a lot of biblical references here. That all is just a way to structure the profound thoughts and ideas we should all consider if we are to be fully human.This is probably one of the best books I have ever read. I've read thousands. This will be one of the few I'll read again. And again.See all 1178 customer reviews... Gilead (Gilead 1) by Marilynne Robinson Reviews ... Gilead has 55378 ratings and 7537 reviews.
