That is the title of this beautiful novella by Mark Richard Robinson, who I had the honor of befriending in Broxbourne, England, these past few days. Update (3:00 pm GMT): I have now finished reading the good Reverend Robinson’s poignant and pensive work of autobiographical fiction. He not only addresses an important philosophical question — the relationship between faith and belief — his work is also a modern-day sequel to two of Seneca’s most timeless essays: “On the Shortness of Life” and “On Providence”. (As a literary aside, I would also have loved to read Robinson’s story from the perspective of his adulterous colleague!)
