"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."
--Awke:kon Journal
"Deloria's handling of the contrast between Christianity and the naturalistic religion of the American Indians
is rich in perceptiveness."

Summary
First published in 1972, Vine Deloria Jr.'s God Is Red remains the seminal work on Native religious views, asking
new questions about our species and our ultimate fate. Celebrating 3 decades in publication with a special
30th-anniversary edition, this classic work reminds us to learn "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, telling us about religious life that is independent from Christianity and that reveres the interconnectedness
of all living things.
