Reading the Bible on Turtle Island: An Invitation to North American Indigenous Interpretation

Join the dance of North American Indigenous interpretations of Christian Scripture In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Indigenous scholars Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias explore what it means to read the Bible from the lens of Indigenous peoples in North America. Exploring the intersection of Scripture, Cultural Traditions, Hearts and Minds, and Creation, they affirm Creator's presence with Indigenous people since the beginning. By recovering these rich histories, this book offers a fresh reading of Scripture that celebrates the assets, blessings, and insights of Indigenous interpretation. Indigenous culture has often been dismissed or deemed problematic within Western Christian circles, and historical practices have often communicated that Indigenous worldviews have little to offer the church or its understanding of Scripture. Hoklotubbe and Zacharias challenge this perspective, reasserting the dignity of these cultures that were condemned through colonial practices and showing how Indigenous interpretations bring invaluable insights to all of God's people. In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Hoklotubbe and Zacharias:

- Affirm the dignity and value of Indigenous cultures and their contributions to hermeneutics. - Explore the intersection of the Bible with Indigenous traditions. - Delve deeply into the stories of Scripture alongside the complex histories of Indigenous communities in North America. - Celebrate the unique blessings and insights of Indigenous interpretation. - Offer a fresh, transformative reading of the Bible that speaks to all of God's people. Reading the Bible on Turtle Island is a vital resource for scholars who are interested in the intersection of biblical studies and social location, who are seeking to explore Scripture through an Indigenous hermeneutic, or who desire to learn more about the contributions of Indigenous worldviews to Biblical interpretation.
