[br]Thanks Castle, - some excellent recommendations. I will definitely be reading the Stockbridge Nation.

Although the entire book is very good, Chapter II is an interesting section about Jonathan Edwards, pastor of the Stockbridge Chuch from 1751 - 1758, when he passed away.  Edwards was one of America's most famous theologians.  In 1741 he wrote one of the most famous sermons in all of history, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, in which he mentions a bow and arrow, which seemed almost prophetic.

[i]The bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice points the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one second from being made drunk with your blood. Thus all of you that never had the great change of heart, by the mighty power of the Spirit of God upon your souls; all of you that were never born again, and made new creatures, and raised from being dead in sin, to a new state, and never experienced light and life, are in the hands of an angry God.[/i]

Algonkian Church History blog this month talks about a book about Jonathan Edwards:

RedFraggle	Posted - November 24 2007 : 3:11:17 PM I was browsing some sale books on Amazon and came across these books that I thought might intrigue anyone interested in Native American history and religion. Christmas is coming, after all! The Land Looks After Us: A History of Native American Religion by Joel W. Martin I haven't read this book, but the Amazon online reader will allow you to see the map that charts the historical location of most of the NA tribes. Take a look, if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0195145860/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-9090065-8288609#reader-link A Strange Likeness: Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America by Nancy Shoemaker The Middle Ground by Richard White Not a sale book, but recommended by a reviewer who didn't particularly like Shoemaker's book.
