All or Nothing
The Jesuit mission to East Asia highlights the polemical difficulties inherent in the process of introducing, translating, and creating a new theological paradigm within a host culture without a common religious worldview. Both Matteo Ricci in China and Ricci's erstwhile teacher, Alessandro Valignano, in Japan, both inveighed against Buddhism for positing a "void" as the Absolute rather than God. The East Asian Jesuit mission had an incomplete un…

The Myōtei Dialogues
The Myōtei Dialogues is the first complete English translation one of the most important works of early Japanese Christianity.

Written by a convert, it is of importance not merely because it shows us how th…

Until recently, we had yet to see an informed Japanese understanding of Christianity, nor an insider's critical treatment of Japanese Buddhism. I…
The Matter of the Zen School”
Japan's Christian Century was not only marked by ascending and waning political fortunes, but also by polemical ones. Both the polemical apogee and nadir came from the hand of one man, Fukansai Habian, a former Zen monk who, as an enthusiastic Christian convert, authored Mytei mond (The Mytei dialogue), and post apostasy wrote Hadaiusu (Deus destroyed). Within his refutation of Buddhism in Mytei mond, Habian individually takes up the Zen school, …
