Raktažodžiai:
A major work of early Japanese Christianity, written by Fukansai Habian (1565-1621), the Myotei Dialogues (1605), is the first complete English translation of one of the most important works of early Japanese Christianity written by a Japanese convert. It includes a series of devastating attacks on three Japanese traditions: Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto. As it provides its pro-Christian arguments, it also reveals the state of those three traditions in the seventeenth century. Interestingly, three years after writing the dialogues Habian left the Jesuits and 13 years after that he wrote a better known work, Deus Destroyed, which attacked Christianity with similar gusto.

Recenzijos

"The Mytei Dialogues is a long-awaited work. With the excellence of its translation and introduction, this book makes a substantial contribution to scholarship in many fields." Higashibaba Ikuo, Tenri University, Japan, Journal of Religion in Japan 5

"The publication of this English translation is an event worthy of celebrationnot only because it is the first but because it is very good. It expresses an accurate understanding of the pieces dizzying range of Buddhist, Confucian, Daoist, Shint, and Christian references in a smooth style which wears its erudition lightly." Patrick Schwemmer, Sophia University, Journal of Jesuit Studies 3

"In addition to its importance for everyone interested in the early history of Christianity in Japan (but also of neo-Confucianism, Shinto, and Buddhism in the sixteenth century) it is of great value for everyone who deals with problems of transcultural religious exchange and the way religions emerge and grow in a totally foreign surrounding." Franz Winter, University of Graz, Religious Studies Review Volume 43, Number 1
