50 pages in Vol. 2 in the Series, "Bridging the Cultural Gap to Christianity." Ever wished for a Redemptive Analogy for Japan like Peace Child, the redemptive analogy that sparked off a great turning to Christ in Irian Jaya? This book gives many, many Redemptive Analogies, suitable for Japan. (Content is the same as Chapter 2 of Vol. 1, but expanded.) God has blessed Japanese culture with plenty of Redemptive Analogies that we can use. The riches of Japanese culture and literary genius has produced novels, theatre, poetry, stories and history that we can mine for nuggets of gold! Many of these we can use to teach the Christ of substitution, sacrifice and redemption. Hours of language study, hours of conversations sitting on the tatami flooring with many Japanese friends and twenty-five years of experience in Japanese churches has led to the writing of this book. The variety of information presented here, will prove an invaluable resource. No other book to date has included this much information on this subject. Missionaries, missiologists, missions and cross-cultural lecturers and students will benefit from this book and be fascinated. The use of the Japanese Redemptive Analogies given in this book will enrich, and make the message of the cross of Christ clearer to the Japanese.

Christianity has been present in Japan since the mid-1500s and yet it is still not widely followed in Japan. Could it be because we insist on explaining the Gospel in terms of guilt-innocence instead of shame-honor? Shintō: the Gospel's Gate develops two major redemptive analogies; introduces an indigenous name for the Creator God; the Shintō concept of sin; and solves a 3,400 year old biblical mystery. Part one was formerly published as On Ancient Paths: From the Garden to the Grave. Examining the parallels between the Hebrew and Shintō understanding of sin, part one develops the Story of Tsumi, the Shame Triad, and the indigenous Japanese name for the Creator God. Part two, From Death to Life, is new material and is nearly two thirds of the contents of Shintō: the Gospel's Gate. It takes a deeper look at the use of Amenominakanushi as the indigenous name for the Creator God. And it examines parallels in Shinto and Hebrew rituals pointing toward God's plan of salvation through Jesus of Nazareth.

The omnipresence and popularity of American consumer products in Japan have triggered an avalanche of writing shedding light on different aspects of this cross-cultural relationship. Cultural interactions are often accompanied by the term cultural imperialism, a concept that on close scrutiny turns out to be a hasty oversimplification given the contemporary cultural interaction between the U.S. and Japan. »Embracing Differences« shows that this assumption of a one-sided transfer is no longer valid. Closely investigating Disney theme parks, sushi, as well as movies, Iris-Aya Laemmerhirt reveals a dialogical exchange between these two nations that has changed the image of Japan in the United States.

The goal of this book is to define and explain the archetypal pattern of redemption that underlies our whole notion of resolution in literature and to demonstrate, through multiple examples, that successful literature--poems and stories that have shown endurance or popularity--uses this pattern in specific ways. This theory should help readers to interpret both particular works of literature and the general notion of literature. The pattern of redemption employed here, in its ideal form, involves the sacrifice of an innocent redeemer to save something that has been lost. Because this pattern of redemption is typically associated with Christianity, this book can be taken as proposing a Christian theory of criticism. Current textbooks on literary criticism and theory cover a range of perspectives, such as Marxism, feminism, multiculturalism, reader response, and queer theory, but they invariably ignore the field of Christian criticism. Therefore, this book may be most useful as a supplementary text for courses in literary criticism that might include a Christian perspective. At the same time, however, the terms and methodology proposed here are not exclusive to or dependant on Christian beliefs, so readers of all types may find this approach useful. The greatest strength of this book is its application of the theory to numerous examples from a wide range of genres and periods of literature, testing the theory on classical and Shakespearean works such as the Iliad and Odyssey, Hamlet and Coriolanus; best sellers such as The Lord of the Rings, Le Petit Prince, Valley of the Dolls, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; horror stories such as Frankenstein; postcolonial novels such as Things Fall Apart and The Kite Runner; and lyric poems. Consequently, even readers who are skeptical of the assumptions used here should find the many concrete examples thought-provoking.

CHRIST AND JAPAN by TOYOHIKO KAGAWA Originally published in 1934. Translator's Preface: This volume contains penetrating insights and illuminating Interpretations of the Japanese mind and heart by one who has plumbed both and knows his fellow-nationals as few know them. The creative process back of this book opens a window into Dr. Kagawa's technique as a writer. Impaired eyesight, periodically bordering on blindness, makes both reading and writing impos sible. For six months, in the midst of a program which would drive most men to distraction, he somehow found time to mull over this production* and then, for ten terrific days and nights, with his whole personality aflame, he dictated it to his Japa nese amanuensis. The translator has striven to convey to the Eng lish reader the message and the mood o the author. The effort to lure the English language into giving adequate expression to the scintillating thoughts and the glowing soul of the writer, has been an agonizing yet fascinating task. Dr. Kagawa has ap proved of the English text in Its final form. WILLIAM AXLING. Contents include: CHRIST CLAIMS JAPAN: A Prologue 3 I. JAPAN AND THE JAPANESE 7 II. STRONG AND WEAK FEATURES OF JAPANESE CHARACTER 20 III. THE JAPANESE SPIRIT IN THE MODERN WORLD 42 IV. THE RELIGIOUS LIFE OF THE JAPANESE 72 V. JAPAN NEEDS CHRIST 104 VI. GIVE CHRIST A CHANCE! 120 Index 143. Christ and Japan. Prologue: realm Inviolate. It Is an astounding story, but In Japan's centuries-long history not one of her myriad Islands has passed Into the possession of an alien hand or land. This genius for preservation has unfortunately Included the bad as well as the good. In the same careful way she has preserved the world-wide system of public prostitution, the deadly syphilis brought by the Portuguese traders, the curse-laden liquor and the sin which has reigned since Adam's day. But must Japan preserve these vices forever? Must the sword which the samurai so proudly bore for ever be In evidence? Must the brothel, the saloon, the penitentiary, and oppressive police power for ever remain in the picture? O Japan! Eternal love keeps calling! Petulant Japan! Isolated Japan! Abandon your sulky mood and kneel before the God of Infinite love. In your effort to rid yourself of sin and to sanctify your soul you, too, must go by the way of the cross. Christ opened a way of salvation even for Japan. Yes! Though the whole wide world forsakes her, Christ, the reveal er of eternal love, will never cease to woo Japan until he wins, Japan Is famishing for love. Love, God's love, can only be found and fathomed in Christ. He has laid siege to Japan's soul, and she belongs to him. The cruelties which for three hundred years char acterized the persecutions under the Tokugawa Shogunate can hardly be paralleled in the history of mankind. Yet, when the Shogunate fell and the Meiji government proclaimed freedom for the propagation of the gospel, over twenty thousand Christians came triumphantly forth from hidden islands and secluded villages. Japan had not turned her back on Christ. Japan possesses a mysterious power of preserving values. Confucianism has all but perished In China, the land of Its birth. But, In Japan, it Is still a vital force. Buddhism has fallen into decay In India where It was cradled. With us It has flowered into new life. [ 3]

In the past 20 years, Christians around the world have launched initiatives to reach Muslims, Communists, Hindus and other major unreached people groups but the Buddhist world has largely been overlooked. Hundreds of millions of Buddhists continue to live and die without any exposure to the Gospel. In Peoples of the Buddhist World, researcher and author Paul Hattaway graphically presents prayer profiles of more than 200 Buddhist people groups around the world, beautifully illustrated with color pictures throughout. In addition, experts have contributed articles on various aspects of Buddhism, helping the reader to learn, pray and work until that day when "the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will reign for ever and ever" (Rev. 11:15).--From publisher's description.
