Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom
Author: Samuel Lee
Publisher: Government Institutes
ISBN: 0761849505
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
In Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom Japan's unvoiced Christian history and cultural roots are examined from an alternative perspective. It is commonly believed that Christianity was introduced to Japan by the Spanish and Portuguese missionaries during the 1500s; however, Samuel Lee draws on various forms of cultural, religious and linguistic evidence to argue that Christianity was introduced to Japan through the Lost Tribes of Israel, who were converted to Christianity through the missionary efforts of the Assyrian Church of the East around A.D. 500. Much of the evidence he discusses has become submerged into many Japanese folkloric songs, festivals and is to be found in temples. There are, for example, approximately 300 words in Japanese and Hebrew/Aramaic that are similar. Further, Dr. Lee outlines the history of Catholicism in Japan during the 1500s, the systematic persecution of Christians from 1600s to the 1800s, and the rise of Protestant Church in Japan. The historical portion of the book ends with an analysis and discussion of 21st century Japanese society. Lastly, in Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom, Samuel Lee questions the missiological methods of Western Christianity and advocates an approach based in dialogue between Christianity and other cultures.

An Epic Tale of the People of the Covenant (The origin of Christianity)
Author: Atsushi Murakami
Publisher: Atsushi Murakami
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 708
Book Description
Last year (2019), I published the 6th edition of my book "The Origin of Christianity" with the subtitle "An Epic Tale of the People of the Covenant," paying attention to the fact that Christianity was born from the "church movement" that had occurred in the process of the people of the Covenant scattered all over the world after they had migrated from the Fertile Crescent at the mouths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the Promised Land Canaan. However, later, it became clear that the Ephraim and Manasseh, only who possess the genetic characteristics of Paleo-Mongoloid among the twelve tribes of Israel, played an important role not only in the conquest of Canaan but also in the eastern transmission of Christianity. Thus, this time, I deliver this 7th edition with the main title of "An Epic Tale of the People of the Covenant." In creating the augmented part of the 7th edition, I got many hints from the blog of Protestant Bible commentator Mr. Arimasa Kubo (久保有政), who was the first pastor of the Ikebukuro-Nishi Church, and used them as the reference.

The Lost Tribes of Israel
Author: Tudor Parfitt
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson Limited
ISBN: 9780297819349
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Tudor Parfitt examines a myth which is based on one of the world's oldest mysteries - what happened to the lost tribes of Israel? Christians and Jews alike have attached great importance to the legendary fate of these tribes which has had a remarkable impact on their ideologies throughout history. Each tribe of Israel claimed descent from one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the land of Israel was eventually divided up between them. Following a schism which formed after the death of Solomon, ten of the tribes set up an independent northern kingdom, whilst those of Judah and Levi set up a separate southern kingdom. In 721BC the ten northern tribes were ethnically cleansed by the Assyrians and the Bible states they were placed: in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the city of Medes. The Bible also foretold that one day they would be reunited with the southern tribes in the final redemption of the people of Israel. Their subsequent history became a tapestry of legend and hearsay. The belief persisted that they had been lost in some remote part of the world and there were countless suggestions and claims as to where.

Religion in Japanese Daily Life
Author: David C. Lewis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317194373
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Are Japanese people religious – and, if so, in what ways? David Lewis addresses this question from the perspective of ordinary Japanese people in the context of their life cycles, and explores why they engage in religious activities. He not only discusses how Japanese people engage in different religious practices as they encounter new events in their lives but also analyses the attitudes and motivations behind their behaviour. Activities such as fortune-telling, religious rites in the workplace, ancestral rites and visits to shrines and temples are actually engaged in by many people who view themselves as ‘non- religious’ but express their motivations in terms other than the conventional ‘religious’ ones. This book outlines the religious options available, and assesses why people choose particular religious activities at various times in their lives or in specific circumstances. The author challenges some widespread assumptions about religion in urban and industrial contexts and also shows how some of the underlying motivations behind Japanese behaviour are expressed both in religious and non-religious forms.

Bambara
Author: Joseph Eidelberg
Publisher: Bookbaby
ISBN: 9781638774341
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This book combines an adventurous discovery story of the author in search for solutions to the two most mysterious events in the Jewish History. The hidden footsteps of ancient Israelites during their 40 years Exodus journey from slavery in Egypt to their freedom in Canaan 3500 years ago, and the disappearance of the Ten Tribes of Israel, after their expulsion by the Assyrians in 722 BCE from their land in Israel, and their traces were never found. The book Bambara presents the two related theories, which are aimed at solving these puzzles. It takes the reader on an exciting 1700 years, non-stop, journey of ancient Jewish history with detailed rationalizations, references, experiences, analyses, and discoveries, which led the author to conclude that The Exodus was not in the Sinai desert, as commonly thought, but in Africa, and that at least some of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel ended up in Japan.
