Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the development of Christianity in Japan over a century, starting in 1803. Beginning with an examination of Japan's period of seclusion in the 1800s, the author traces the progress of the church through stages of unlocking, preparation, foundations, popularity, reaction, and revival. The historical context of each of these eras is meticulously examined, and the profound influence of Christianity on the social and political landscape is brought to light. The book delves into the work of many Christian organizations and the efforts of missionaries who journeyed to Japan to spread the faith. Through exploration of the obstacles and triumphs encountered along the way, the author provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges and rewards of spreading Christianity in a foreign land.
