'Me a criminal? No way!' This shocking reply is at the core of this unique book-unique, because there is no other English book on the subject of tsumi, and its alternates and its unfortunate meaning of criminally guilty in Japanese. Unfortunately, it does not encompass the meaning of sin against God. Four hundred years have passed, and this deplorable translation is still used in Japanese churches today.

These are some of the topics that are covered in this informative book:

  • How Japanese religions are decoded
  • The interesting history of Japanese Bible translations
  • The etymology of the word tsumi
  • The general Japanese understanding of the word tsumi in society, history, and culture.
  • Full listings and nuances of the words used for sin in the Bible.
  • Alternate words and the use of metaphors, proverbs, and idioms that enrich Japanese speech.
The busy missionary and pastor, along with any Christian keen on spreading the gospel to the Japanese will be able to use this book to accomplish much in a short time. Want a way of expressing sin? Just look it up here. You can cut down on time and reduce frustration as you turn to this sound and trusted haven.

Who is this handbook written for? Every Christian interested in reaching the Japanese people.
