In \u003cem\u003e\"I Will Fear No Evil\u003c\/em\u003e\", Susan Gray offers a new perspective on missionary-aboriginal encounters between the Berens River Ojibwa and Methodist and Catholic missionaries between 1875 and 1940. Supplementing her historical research with conversations and interviews with Berens River elders, Gray explores the ways in which Christian beliefs have become incorporated into the traditional Ojibwa worldview.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ojibwa were active participants in these missionary encounters. They accepted those missionaries who treated them with sensitivity and respect and integrated Christian beliefs and practices into their established belief system. Today, a blend of Christian and Ojibwa ideas is still interwoven in the lives of Berens River residents, with both traditions holding meaning and sincerity. Their uniquely adaptive religion sheds new light on our understanding of cultural contact and conversion, placing the indigenous experience of these events at centre stage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Elaine Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1552381986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552381984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Calgary Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 68","brand":"Susan Elaine Gray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985118298367,"sku":"9781552381984","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_677aba84-7e6d-4786-a6a1-0c3eb524aa34.jpg?v=1683275652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-will-fear-no-evil-susan-elaine-gray-9781552381984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
