Synopsis

This book explores the history of Christianity in Japan from the sixteenth century to the late nineteenth century, focusing on the rise and fall of Catholic and Protestant missions. The author draws on historical texts, travelogues, and mission records to provide a comprehensive account of the complex relationship between Christianity and Japanese society. The book discusses the initial success of Catholic missionaries in converting thousands of Japanese to Christianity, the subsequent persecution of Christians by the Japanese government, the eventual decline of Catholicism in Japan, and the rise of Protestantism in the late nineteenth century. The author argues that the history of Christianity in Japan sheds light on the complex interaction between Western and non-Western cultures.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
