Brendan's Return Voyage

More about the book

The narrative explores the revival of a myth about Saint Brendan's journey from Ireland to America, where he discovers that the Native Americans already embrace Jesus. This realization leads him to return home in humility. In stark contrast, the book critiques the colonial approach of U.S. missions, which often demand that Native American tribes abandon their cultural identities in favor of a Eurocentric version of Christianity. The themes of cultural respect and the true essence of evangelism are central to this exploration.
