"The God Stealer" is a short story by Filipino National Artist F. Sionil José. It is José's most anthologized work of fiction.[1] It is not just a tale about an Ifugao stealing a religious idol,[2] but also about the friendship that developed between a Filipino and an American, a representation of the relationship that developed between the "influenced" and the "influencer".[1] The story was a first prize winner during the 1959 Palanca awards in the Philippines.[3] It is included in the book by José with a similar title, The God Stealer and Other Stories.[1]
