Come and listen in as one of the world's most respected theologians talks theology with his eight-year-old granddaughter. In this delightful book, Robert Jenson and Solveig Lucia Gold share their unscripted, spontaneous talks about everything from the meaning of the Trinity to what God looks like. The result is an enlightening book that reminds us all we have a lot to learn from theologians and from children."The psalmist sang: 'Walk about Zion . . . number her towers . . . consider well her ramparts . . . that you may tell the next generation that this is God, our God for ever and ever.' But a good teacher knows that the next generation is not mute, and Jenson is a master teacher. So it is not only the grandfather who instructs; the granddaughter too is wise, affectionate, humorous, insightful (and sometimes silly), all of which makes for lively and charming reading."--Robert Louis Wilken, University of Virginia"Eight-year-old theologians are not so rare as we might think, but few have a theologian grandfather with the patience and learning to appreciate their profundity. Readers will thank Solveig and Poppi for their winsome engagement with the surprising simplicity of Christian wisdom."--Richard John Neuhaus, editor in chief, First Things
