The methodology, language, and understandings of the Christian beliefs of the colonists--and of the majority society since the colonial period--largely failed to Christianize the native population. Different conceptual frameworks and different understandings of terms made (and make) Christian doctrine unappealing and at times incomprehensible to American Indians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, \"Tink\" Tinker focuses in particular on differing understandings of Jesus Christ and of the land, and the centrality of both to the \"theology of sovreignity\" and the challenges communities of faith face, particularly indigenous comminites, in a postcolonial world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George E.
