And here's to you, Mrs Robinson

This article examines Honest to God from the perspective of Ruth Robinson's essays on the ideas of the book and its relation to child development. It shows the importance of the psychology of God-images and argues that there is a fundamental tension between the need for personal images and the secular abandonment of such images. It explores these issues in the context of gender and John Robinson's PhD thesis Thou Who Art , with its commitment to personalist philosophy and the work of Martin Buber
