God Is Red: A Native View of Religion by Vine Deloria Jr.

4.0

Overall, I absolutely adored this. However, I find the title misleading. I was expecting a Native view on religion, but it is more of the Native (or A Native's) view on Christianity. I am not a Christian and therefore enjoyed most of what Deloria Jr had to say on the issues with Christianity and its inherent dominance of the world. For me, this was not the easiest read because the author has a eloquent, rant-like type of writing where it can be difficult to follow what he was saying. Also, the last 100 pages felt repetitive and were therefore a bit dull to read, but I am glad that I read this. A lot of what his issues are very relevant today and I was sad to find out that he had passed several years ago. However, I plan to read some more of his writings and other related works and am excited to expand my mind a bit more about the subject.
