Review

"The flagship book on Native American spirituality remains Vine Delora's "God Is Red. He does an outstanding job of translating complex spiritual issues into very simple truths.

"Deloria's thinking on the subject of religion has lost none of its rage or relevance...since "God 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." Awkekon Journal

"Deloria's handling of the contrast between Christianity and the naturalistic religion of the American Indians is rich in perceptiveness." Choice

"Vine Deloria, Jr. could be one of the most important living Native American writers, and insofar as there can be any hope of human survival in the face of civilization's insane onslaught, one of the most important writers ever to exist." -- The Bloomsbury Review

"The flagship book on Native American spirituality remains Vine Deloria's "God is Red." He does an outstanding job of translating complex spiritual issues into very simple truths." Wilma P. Mankiller, Former Principal Chief, Cherokee Nation
