Thanks for it, and hope for some others while you're there. <br /><br />Jonathan, Mohawk Saint is one my top ten all-time favorites in Am. religious history, if you search through the blog archives you'll see it's come up a lot; and I would also recommend to our readers my interview with Emma Anderson a while back, the author of *Betrayal of Faith,* an incredibly rich and heartbreaking story of one Indian convert in the 17th century. I blogged about Allan Greer's book along with Anderson before here:<br /><br />http://usreligion.blogspot.com/2008/12/betrayal-of-faith.html<br /><br />The interview with Anderson is here:<br /><br />http://usreligion.blogspot.com/2009/02/writing-betrayal-of-faith-interview.html<br /><br />Finally, I might mention that our very own Lin Fisher is finishing up his fantastic manuscript which goes "beyond" the traditionalist/revisionist narrative and gives a rich and complex picture of Christianity among Native New Englanders from the mid-17th to the late 18th century.Paul Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881964303772343114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-2062817669512523632011-04-08T15:51:14.758-06:002011-04-08T15:51:14.758-06:00wish i was there; sounds fantastic!wish i was there; sounds fantastic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-67841102766342114452011-04-08T15:39:50.210-06:002011-04-08T15:39:50.210-06:00Have you read Mohawk Saint, by Allan Greer?

It is a great example of the nuanced story about Native Americans and Christianity that you are looking for: it goes beyond the regular "conversion" narrative that often shapes these stories.<br /><br />I wrote a review of it for a course I took a couple of years ago. You can find it on my blog here: http://www.jmenon.com/archives/2008/04/mohawk-saint-allan-greer-review<br /><br />I hope you find it interesting.JonathanMenonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405772916648568060noreply@blogger.com
