GEOGRAPHICAL. /'in the study of a nation's life men bring with them different motives. The merchant has a commercial, the soldier a military, the naturalist a scientific and the politician a political interest in each country. Thus the attitude of each one toward another land is determined by the standpoint from which it is regarded.. The Christian considers every country from the point of view of Christ's command to evangelize the world.. /The discovery of Japan was no exception to this rule. The great Venitian traveler, Marco Polo, in thethirteenth century, at the Co-urt of Kublai Khan, in. China, heard for the first time of Chi-pan-gu (Japan). His graphic description of its beauty, its wealth and its people, awakened a deep interest in Europe. This interest was reawakened by Pinto who came to Japan in 1542. The Portugese fitted out commercial ships to take advantage of the discovery. Columbus sailed on a voyage of exploration and supposed that in the island of Cuba, now of such living interest to us, he had found the far away land of gilt and gold. It even awakened the pen of the poet and prompted one to sing of it: "But what of earth is still from thee concealed, Until that period of futurity, When all the globe contains shall be revealed; Pass not unmarked the islands in the sea, Where nature claims the most celebrity. Half-hidden, stretching in a lengthened line In front of China, which its guide shall be, Japan abounds in mines of silver fine And shall enlightened be by holy faith divine." The Spanish took a deep religious interest in the islands and were alert to their conversion to the Koman Catholic faith. Our interest in the land is likewise a religious one. It is important on this account also to consider it from its physical...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the accommodation between Japan and Christianity has been an uneasy one. Compared with others of its Asian neighbors, the churches in Japan have never counted more than a small minority of believers more or less resigned to patterns of ritual and belief transplanted from the West. But there is another side to the story, one little known and rarely told: the rise of indigenous movements aimed at a Christianity that is at once made in Japan and faithful to the scriptures and apostolic tradition. Christianity Made in Japan draws on extensive field research to give an intriguing and sympathetic look behind the scenes and into the lives of the leaders and followers of several indigenous movements in Japan. Focusing on the "native" response rather than Western missionary efforts and intentions, it presents varieties of new interpretations of the Christian tradition. It gives voice to the unheard perceptions and views of many Japanese Christians, while raising questions vital to the self-understanding of Christianity as a truly "world religion." This ground-breaking study makes a largely unknown religious world accessible to outsiders for the first time. Students and scholars alike will find it a valuable addition to the literature on Japanese religions and society and on the development of Christianity outside the West. By offering an alternative approach to the study and understanding of Christianity as a world religion and the complicated process of cross-cultural diffusion, it represents a landmark that will define future research in the field.
