Remembering Jamestown

"Amos Yong and Barbara Brown Zikmund have made a critical intervention in the theological and ethical absence of Indigenous peoples within Christian mission. Their groundbreaking work opens up a fruitful dialogue for how to rethink missions within the context of historical and continuing colonization of Native peoples. They offer no simple or uniform solutions but provide a space for critical analysis and intellectual exchange. This book is a must read."

"This is a profoundly disturbing yet constructive book. It presents a devastating critique of the church's mission among Native Americans in the last 400 years, but offers as well a sober hope. If mission is to be engaged in at all, it must be done with profound respect, dialogue, and repentance--the true way of Jesus and his Spirit."

-Stephen Bevans

Professor of Mission and Culture, Catholic Theological Union



"Most commentators on Christian mission who claim to use critical thinking in their assessments forget the 'thinking' and are just 'critical.' The authors of these essays 'think' too. One may not always agree with their assessments in toto, but the ideas in this book need to be taken seriously by Christians interested in the growth of the church in the twenty-first century."
