Why is it important?
Very little attention has been given to Annie Dillard's theology, especially with respect to her more recent work For The Time Being. This paper offers an analysis of her treatment of providence and the problem of evil across three of her major works.
Perspectives

The Rev. Dr. Cole William Hartin
