Summary: This ground-breaking study on the Roman Catholic, Japanese novelist Endo Shusaku (1923-1996) uniquely combines western and Japanese religious, theological and philosophical thought.

Analysing the social and religious context of Japan in a global perspective, the author identifies a central role for ""koshinto""--A traditional Japanese ethos - in Endo's thought on inculturation.
