Contents:
Catholicism, modernity, and Japanese culture / Kevin M. Doak -- Catholic women religious and Catholicism in Japan : 1872-1940 / Ann M. Harrington -- Towards a history of Christian scientists in Japan / James R. Bartholomew -- Tanaka Kōtarō and natural law / Kevin M. Doak -- Catholicism and contemporary man / Yoshimitsu Yoshihiko (translated and annotated by Kevin M. Doak and Charles C. Campbell -- Kanayama Masahide : Catholicism and mid-twentieth-century Japanese diplomacy / Mariko Ikehara -- Crossing the deep river : Endō Shūsaku and the problem of religious pluralism / Mark Williams -- An essay on Sono Ayako / Toshiko Sunami (translated and annotated by Kevin M. Doak) -- The theory and practice of inculturation by Father Inoue Yōji : from panentheism to Namu Abba / Yoshihisa Yamamoto -- Between inculturation and globalization : the situation of Catholicism in contemporary Japanese society / Mark. R. Mullins.
Summary: Japan has had three Catholic prime ministers, and its current empress was raised and educated in the faith. How did a non-Christian nation come to foster more Catholic leaders than the United States, particularly when Protestantism is said to define Christianity in Japan and Catholicism is believed to be but a fleeting element of Japan's so-called "Christian century"? This volume reveals that, far from being a relic of the past - something brought to Japan by missionaries and then forgotten - Catholicism offered, and continues to provide, an authentic and alternative way for Japanese believers to maintain "tradition" and negotiate modernity. </body> </html>
