An Indigenous
Reflection on the
New Testament
take a peek
Howard Jolly
When Cree author, Howard Jolly, challenged himself to read the New Testament through in as short a time-frame as possible, he noticed important themes and phrases that all the various authors were striving to pass on to their readers. When he began to write a book about these themes, he noticed something else.​​
All the prominent themes of the New Testament relate directly and beautifully to the issues Indigenous people face today. In this brave and powerful book, Howard helps both Indigenous and non Indigenous readers understand Jesus' plan for reconciliation with God, ourselves and others.​​
