Manitou and God

Pressestimmen

"In Manitou and God, Thomas describes American Indian religions as they compare with principal features of Christian doctrine and practice. He traces the development of sociopolitical and religious relations between American Indians and the European immigrants who, over the centuries, spread across the continent, captured Indian lands and decimated Indian culture in general and religion in particular. He identifies the modern-day status of American Indians and their religions, including the progress Indians have made toward improving their political power, socioeconomic condition, and cultural/religious recovery and the difficulties they continue to face in their attempts to better their lot. Readers will gain a better sense of the give and take between these two cultures and the influence each has had on the other." - allfreedownloadlinks.com "Scholars comparing traditional American Indian religious beliefs and practices with Christianity will find this an abundantly useful volume. Thomas writes in an academic but clear style as he examines North American Indian religious beliefs and their historical relationship to Christianity... This is a superb place for researchers of North American Indian religious beliefs to begin. It is highly recommended for academic and public libraries." - Catholic Library World
