Trade Review
Mullins has brought new light to bear on the story of religions in modern Japan. Relatively unknown Christian movements are taken up in a study that is at once engaging and poised to sweep away conventional thinking about the relations between Christianity and Japanese culture. - Shimazono Susumu, University of Tokyo - This is scholarship of the hightest quality on a subject as complex as it is difficult. Scholars interested in local responses not only to Christianity in Japan but to the penetration of world religions anywhere outside their 'natural and historical setting' will find this volume rich in ideas and suggestions. - Peter B. Clarke, University of London.
