Welcome to this archive edition of Midday on Religion.
Tom's guest is the best-selling author and essayist, Marilynne Robinson. A winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal, she is a towering figure in literature, philosophy and religion. She joins me to talk about her new book, Reading Genesis, in which she illuminates the ways in which Genesis is a paradigm for the rest of the Bible and “a meditation on the problem of evil.”
