Table of ContentsReviewsAllen Jorgenson's scholarly book, Indigenous and Christian Perspectives in Dialogue: Kairotic Place and Borders will lead you on an important journey, filled with many new discoveries about yourself and your theology. The journey is one in which he has sacrificed the comforts that attend the presumption that European-based theology is normative theology. This realization leads one towards, not just a better understanding of Indigenous theologies, but a better understanding of God. Take the journey! -- Randy Woodley Comparing Indigenous and Christian Perspectives is a pioneering, constructive work of Christian theology that moves interreligious understanding and comparative theology forward into the long delayed, urgently required Christian encounter with the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island, North America. Challenged and purified by facing up to the horrific history of the Indigenous-Christian relationship, interreligious learning can now open in fresh encounters that from the start honor the dignity and voice of Indigenous Peoples and thereby begin to re-balance the whole of interreligious learning. Jorgenson weaves all this together out of personal experience and pastoral practice, theological learning and humble communion with the Indigenous Peoples. A must-read for those interested in Christian theology, the wider comparative theology, and a more just and more spiritual community on this continent in the 21st century. -- Francis X.
