A 50thanniversary revised edition of the beloved classic,God is Red.

First published in 1973, Vine Deloria, Jr.'s God Is Red remains the seminal work on Native American religious views, asking the reader to think about our species and our ultimate fate in novel ways. Celebrating five decades of publication with this new edition, Deloria's classic work reminds us to understand ""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, informing us about a spiritual life that is independent of Western religion and that reveres the interconnectedness of all living things.

This new edition includes critical essays engaging with the original material by well-known Indigenous thinkers - Philip Deloria, Suzan Shown Harjo, Daniel Wildcat, and David E. Wilkins. Inside, the book covers a wide variety of topics including: the problem of creation, the origin of religion, Death,andHuman personality.

""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.""

Reviews for God Is Red: A Native View of Religion

"""Brilliant and discerning, God Is Red is as thought-provoking and pertinent today as it was when it was first released fifty years ago."" --Foreword Reviews. ""...Deloria's handling of the contrast between Christianity and the naturalistic religion of the American Indians is rich in perceptiveness."" --Choice ""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 of Ceremony ""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."" --Awe: kon Journal ""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"
