Marilynne Robinson was awarded this week with the Orange Prize for fiction, a British award for female writers around the world, for her latest work Home. In 2005 she won the Pulitzer Prize for Gilead, the fictional story of three generations of Congregationalist pastors in the small town of Gilead. The story is told through the 1956 diary entries of Rev. John Ames, the third generation pastor. In Home, the prodigal son of another pastor in Gilead, Jack, returns home after 20 years to make peace with his past. This event is free of charge and open to the public.

Lipscomb University is pleased to host the 29th annual Christian Scholars’ Conference, June 25-27, 2009, under the theme, “The Power of Narrative.” Plenary speakers Billy Collins (US Poet Laureate, 2001-2003), Marilynne Robinson (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2005), Hubert G. Locke, and Barbara Brown Taylor will stimulate dialogue on the intersection of faith, academics and narrative's captivating quality. Paper and Panel sessions highlight the conference, bringing together fellow academics for collaboration and dialogue.
