Today! Book Launch: Indigenous People and the Christian Faith
Posted on: Feb 27, 2020
Join us tonight, February 27 at 7:00pm for the Book Launch of Indigenous People and the Christian Faith: A New Way Forward.
Indigenous People and the Christian Faith: A New Way Forward听provides detailed historical, cultural and theological background and analysis to a very delicate and pressing subject facing many people around the world. The book is 鈥済local鈥�: both local and global as represented by international scholars. Every continent is represented by both Indigenous and non-indigenous people who desire to make a difference with the delicate problematics and relationships. The history of Indigenous people around the world is inextricably linked with Christianity and Colonialism. The book is completely interdisciplinary by employing historians, literary critics, biblical scholars and theologians, sociologists, philosophers and ordained engineers. The Literary Intent of the book, without presuming nor claiming too much for itself, is to provide practical thinking that will help all people move past the pain and dysfunction of the past toward mutual understanding, communication, and practical actions in the present and future.听 听听听听听
