This book offers resources for re-imagining the biblical vision of water for a time quickly
emerging as the century of water wars. It takes its urgency from the author's 5-year activist
engagement with a grass-roots-led social movement pushing back on Detroit water shutoffs as
global climate crises intensify. Concerned with both white supremacist biopolitics and
continuing settler colonial reliance on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and beholden to an
interreligious methodology of crossing over and coming back the text creatively re-reads the
biblical tradition under tutelage to the mythologies and practices of various indigenous
cultures (Algonquian Huron Haitian Vodouisant and Celtic Norman) whose embrace of water is
animate and spiritual as well as political and communal. Not enough today merely to engage
the political battle over water rights however indigenous wisdom and biblical prophecy alike
insist that recovery of water spirituality is central to a sustainable future.
