Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the challenges and possibilities inherent in missionary work. The author, a seasoned missionary himself, tackles the complex question of what constitutes a successful missionary endeavor in Japan. By contrasting various approaches to missionary work, the author reveals the tension between the desire to establish a strong, self-sufficient native church and the equally important goal of reaching every person with the Gospel message. The book delves deeply into the social and religious landscape of Japan, examining the historical and cultural factors that influence the reception of Christianity. From the intricacies of Shinto and Buddhism to the unique features of the Japanese family structure, the author paints a vibrant picture of the context in which missionary work unfolds. This book's insightful analysis of the missionary purpose provides a valuable lens for understanding the interplay of faith, culture, and history in the spread of Christianity.
