Christianity in Japan is a historical and cultural account of the introduction and development of Christianity in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, Merriman Colbert Harris, provides a thorough examination of the various Christian denominations that have been established in Japan, including Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodox Christianity. He also explores the challenges and opportunities that these religious institutions have faced in a country with a unique cultural and religious identity.Harris delves into the history of Christianity in Japan, starting with its initial arrival in the 16th century through the missionary work of Francis Xavier and his followers. He then goes on to discuss the suppression of Christianity during the Edo period, when the religion was outlawed and Christians were persecuted. The book also covers the opening of Japan to the West in the mid-19th century and the subsequent arrival of Christian missionaries, who were able to establish churches and schools.Throughout the book, Harris provides a detailed analysis of the impact of Christianity on Japanese society and culture. He examines how the religion has influenced Japanese art, literature, and philosophy, and how it has been received by the Japanese people. He also discusses the challenges faced by Christian missionaries in Japan, including the language barrier, cultural differences, and the resistance of traditional Japanese religious beliefs.Overall, Christianity in Japan is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the history and impact of Christianity in Japan. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, culture, and history in Japan.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
