Summary: An exercise in understanding Native American theology
Review: In A Native American Theology, Clara Kidwell, Homer Noley, and George Tinker effective collaborate to present an original exercise in understanding Native American theology. While observing traditional categories of Christian systematic theology, there is a reimaging consistent with Native American experience, values, and world view. The authors also introduce new categories from native thought-worlds such as the Trickster (eraser of boundaries, symbol of ambiguity), and Land. Highly recommended reading for Native American studies, multicultural studies, and comparative religion, A Native American Theology concludes with the authors addresses contemporary Native American issues including racism, poverty, stereotyping, cultural appropriation, and religious freedom.
