About this listen
Written in an accessible, conversational style that incorporates numerous stories and questions, this book exposes the weaknesses of a Western worldview through a personal engagement with Indigenous theology. Randy Woodley critiques the worldview that undergirds the North American church by dismantling assumptions regarding early North American histories and civilizations, offering a comparative analysis of worldviews, and demonstrating a decolonized approach to Christian theology.
Woodley explains that Western theology has settled for a particular view of God and has perpetuated that basic view for hundreds of years, but Indigenous theology originates from a completely different DNA. Instead of beginning with God-created humanity, it begins with God-created place. Instead of emphasizing individualism, it emphasizes a corporateness that encompasses the whole community of creation. And instead of being about the next world, it is about the tangibility of our lived experiences in this present world. The book encourages listeners to reject the many problematic aspects of the Western worldview and to convert to a worldview that is closer to that of both Indigenous traditions and Jesus.

Truly Excellent
A genuinely thoughtful, deeply felt, and thoroughly helpful exploration of how theology and the theological process has been deeply ingrained by western culture. Not full of finger pointing, but still very real about historical truths, this is a book brimming over with hope. Compassionate, honest, and real, Woodley gently points out many of the things that Western theology has taken for granted without realizing it, which makes this book vital reading anyone who has been educated in that tradition. Get this book read as soon as you can.
