Description:
<DIV><B>A Choctaw Indian Christian bishop explores the teachings of the Bible through the lens of Native American tradition. </B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> Steven Charleston&mdash;an Episcopal bishop and Choctaw native&mdash;takes a unique and provocative look into the &ldquo;vision quests&rdquo; of Jesus, and considers Christian biblical interpretation from the perspective of Native American theology. In these inspiring parallels he finds an enlightening spiritual harmony between North American indigenous communities and four specific experiences of Jesus as portrayed in the synoptic gospels.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> From Jesus&rsquo;s time in the wilderness, to the Transfiguration, to Gethsemane, and finally, to Golgotha, these quests offer insight into such topics as the need to enter the &ldquo;we&rdquo; rather than the &ldquo;I&rdquo; and the pursuit of freedom through discipline and concern for justice, compassion, and human dignity. <I>The Four Vision Quests of Jesus</I> reveals the values that are primary to the foundation of Native tradition and integral to Christian thought&mdash;the principles that lie at the very heart of what unites us all.<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
