Book Description
The material in this series is primarily ecumenical, as related to Lutheran and Protestant unity. Although the United Lutheran Church in America (ULCA) and the Japan Evangelical Lutheran Church (JELC) were part of some inter-Lutheran and general Protestant meetings and planning prior to World War II, it is a much more pronounced activity from 1948-1962. During the early part of this time period the inter-Lutheran material concerns relations among the numerous other Lutheran Missions that were beginning work in Japan; in the latter part are the plans to combine Augustana and Suomi (American) mission work with that of the Japan Lutheran Missionaries Association as the new Lutheran Church in America was being planned in the United States. The minutes and records of the Lutheran Literature Society organized in 1951 are included here because it was a Pan-Lutheran organization in Japan. On the American side are reports and correspondence related to the Far Eastern Joint office of the National Council of Churches.

Book Description
Stepping Up to the Cold War Challenge: The Norwegian-American Lutheran Experience in 1950s Japan describes the events that led to the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELC), an American Christian denomination, to respond to General MacArthur’s call for missionaries. This Church did not initially respond, but did so in 1949 only after their missionaries had been expelled from China due to the victory of communist forces on the mainland. Because they feared Japan would also succumb to communism in less than ten years, the missionaries evaded ecumenical cooperation and social welfare projects to focus on evangelism and establishing congregations. Many of the ELC missionaries were children and grandchildren of Norwegian immigrants who had settled as farmers on the North American Great Plains. Based on interview transcripts and other primary sources, this book intimately describes the personal struggles of individuals responding to the call to be a missionary, adjusting to life in Japan, learning Japanese, raising a family, and engaging in mission work. As the Cold War threat diminished and independence movements elsewhere were ending colonialism, missionaries were compelled to change methods and attitudes. The 1950s was a time when missionaries went out much in the same manner that they did in the nineteenth century. Through the voices of the missionaries and their Japanese coworkers, the book documents how many of the traditional missionary assumptions begin to be questioned.
