The Four Vision Quests of Jesus

The Four Vision Quests of Jesus is a groundbreaking book that offers a unique perspective on Christian biblical interpretation and theology through the lens of Native American tradition.

This thought-provoking work examines four specific experiences of Jesus as portrayed in the synoptic gospels, each of which represents a "vision quest" - a universal spiritual phenomenon with particular importance within North American indigenous communities. Through an in-depth analysis of each story, the author sheds light on the foundational Native American value of entering into the "we" rather than the "I," as well as the Native tradition of holy men and women who find their freedom through discipline and concerns for justice, compassion, and human dignity. The book also explores the sacrament of sacrifice, kinship, balance, and harmony - all primary to Native tradition and integral to Christian thought.

With its focus on indigenous encounter with the word-thought-logos of God, this book is a deeply significant contribution to Anglican theology and a must-read for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on their spiritual journey.
