Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter investigates how various genres of first person narrative interact within the discourse of epistolarity in Marilynne Robinson’s novel Gilead, dealing with an old dying father and clergyman writing to his very young son. The analysis exposes how this interaction is governed by the narrator’s ambition to unselfishly guide and help his son – in vain trying to forget his own personal failures, desires, dilemmas and feelings of guilt. Most interesting is how the formal-rhetorical swaying of the text activates and illustrates deep theological issues of love, sin, guilt and forgiveness.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explores how Marilynne Robinson narrates the unfolding of grace in her novel Lila, what kind of subjectivity her novel portrays, and whether there is a tension , more generally, between the implied understanding of self in her essays and her novel. Primarily it is an inquiry of Lila, as the narrative format of a novel allows a more dynamic understanding of grace and subjectivity to be represented than in the more discursive format of the essay. It calls upon Charles Taylor's and William Desmond's contrast between the 'buffered self' and the 'porous self' in giving an account of the novel's understanding of subjectivity.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A common theme in the novel Lila and the Hebrew bible is the social, theological, and ethical dynamics of a nomadic vs. settled form of life. In the article, I bring the literary figure and texts of Ezekiel into an encounter with the novel’s protagonist Lila, and demonstrate how her encounter with his strange and often bizarre visions and metaphors enables her to transform her life and finally experience a homecoming. In the conversations of Lila and Ames, biblical quotations play a prominent role. It is argued, that there is a thematic link between the historical and ideological contexts of the biblical quotes and the way they are used in the novel. In the Hebrew bible, as well as in Lila, the chosen texts express the theologies and ethics of the powerful and the dis-empowered, the landowners and the landless, the insider and the outcast.
