Once you have begun reading this book, you will be unable to put it down! The author’s ‘quiet voice’ has relevance and immediacy to the challenges of Canada. Truth never changes, but it must be packaged culturally and generationally to make it relevant with knowledge that is consistent with reality. Combining insight and foresight, Aaron Ross not only perceives tendencies common to cross-cultural workers, he is able to pinpoint those meanings for the reader. His work will retain a lasting validity that can be studied, and restudied.” Rev. John E.

It is a challenge to do justice to a review of The Holy Spirit and the Eagle Feather because of the important contribution of its historical value and its critical interrogation of the legacy of colonization in the missionary work of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) with Indigenous peoples. At heart, this book celebrates the uniqueness of Indigenous Pentecostalism, a Pentecostalism that remains deeply Indigenous in its character, even as it wrestles with the colonial legacy of Pentecostal missions to Indigenous peoples.\" \u003cem\u003eJournal of Religious History\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400167399767,"sku":"9780228017660","price":27.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780228017660.jpg?v=1730469940","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-holy-spirit-and-the-eagle-feather-9780228017660","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
