Christianity in Japan: 1859-1883 (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the tale of Christianity's evolution in Japan, a nation defined by a rich religious history, yet extraordinary detachment from western ideals. The author notes the initial struggle faced by western missionaries due to intense nationalistic sentiment and the populace's fear of foreign influence. Over time, the Japanese people gradually warmed up to Christianity due to a combination of factors: increased exposure to the west, the questioning of traditional customs, thirst for scientific knowledge, and a shift in national sentiment. The book presents a detailed historical account of the challenges faced by Christianity in Japan and explores how the religion has grown to become an integral part of Japanese society, coexisting with other belief systems such as Buddhism and Shintoism. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between religion, culture, and national identity in Japan.
