À propos de cet audio
The gospel of Jesus has not always been good news for Native Americans.
The history of North America is marred by atrocities committed against Native peoples. Indigenous cultures were erased in the name of Christianity. As a result, to this day few Native Americans are followers of Jesus. However, despite the far-reaching effects of colonialism, some Natives have forged culturally authentic ways to follow the way of Jesus.
In his final work, Richard Twiss provides a contextualized Indigenous expression of the Christian faith among the Native communities of North America. He surveys the painful, complicated history of Christian missions among Indigenous peoples and chronicles more hopeful visions of culturally contextual Native Christian faith. Native leaders reframe the gospel narrative in light of post-colonization, reincorporating traditional practices and rituals while critiquing and correcting the assumptions of American Christian mythologies.
Twiss gives voice to the stories of Native followers of Jesus, with perspectives on theology and spirituality plus concrete models for intercultural ministry. Future generations of Native followers of Jesus, and those working cross-culturally with them, will be indebted to this work.

Thought-provoking
Very interesting and informative perspective on what Christianity can look like in the context of North American Indigenous cultures. A great read. Chapter 3 was my favourite.

Still a somewhat unique look into an important North American Christian movement
I have worked in Christian ministries to native Canadians for over a decade now and repeatedly had people recommend this book to me. Having just read it, most of the information contained in it is not brand new. I have encountered similar historic and theological information in other sources. however, I think that this book is the best summary I have encountered of some of the changes that have been going on among native Christians over the past few decades. It reflects honestly on some of the tensions that exist around these changes. it wrestles with the lived reality of being both native and Christian. Aand, even though some of the historic data is a little outdated at this point in time, much of the social dynamics it describes still exist today. I am glad I finally got around to reading this. I would highly recommend it to anyone who, like me, was raised with a simplistic Evangelical framework which denies the role that culture and social dynamics play in shaping our theology and practice. although this book does not contain many of the theological arguments, I have found compelling from within the contextualization movement, I think that understanding the movement helps to show that this is not a dangerous group of people, but honest Christians who are calling attention to something we have been blind to over the centuries.
