Details: Product DescriptionFirst published in 1972, Vine Deloria Jr.’sGod Is Red remains the seminal work on Native religious views, asking new questions about our species and our ultimate fate. Celebrating three decades in publication with a special 30th-anniversary edition, this classic work reminds us to learn “that we are a part of nature, not a transcendent species with no responsibilities to the natural world.” It is time again to listen to Vine Deloria Jr.’s powerful voice, telling us about religious life that is independent of Christianity and that reveres the interconnectedness of all living things.Review”God is Red should be read and re-read by Americans who want to understand why the United States keeps losing the peace, war after war.” —From the forward by Leslie Marmon Silko, author ofCeremony”The flagship book on Native American spirituality remains Vine Deloria’sGod is Red. He does an outstanding job of translating complex spiritual issues into very simple truths.” —Wilma P Mankiller, Former Principal Chief, Cherokee Nation”Deloria’s thinking on the subject of religion has lost none of its rage or relevance…sinceGod is Red was first published. This book is broader than its subtitle suggests. It is a trenchant and often witty critique on non-Native religion through Native eyes.” —Awe:kon Journal”…Deloria’s handling of the contrast between Christianity and the naturalistic religion of the American Indians is rich in perceptiveness.” —ChoiceAbout the AuthorVine Deloria Jr. was named byTIME magazine as one of the greatest religious thinkers of the twentieth century.
