For This Land: Writings on Religion in America

Vine Deloria Jr.
4.25/5 (61 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
For This Land, edited and with an introduction by James Treat, brings together over thirty years of the work of Vine Deloria, Jr., regarded as one of the most important living Native American figures. For three decades, Deloria has offered substantive and persistent contributions to understanding the complexity of religion in America. In his writings, he recognizes the spiritual desperation and religious breakdown in the contemporary situation. He provides the groundwork to get people to examine what they actually believe and how they must put those beliefs into practice. The essays in this collection express Deloria's concern for the religious dimensions and implications of human existence. His writings are engaged within a theoretical system of physical, not ideological, space, and ultimately give voice to this intellectual passion by calling into question our controversial religious institutions, commitments, worldviews, freedoms, and experiences. For This Land offers a distinctive approach to comprehending human existence from one of the leading critics of mainstream American thought.
