【Course Objectives】

Starting in Japan, we will examine the history of Christianity in Asia to identify political, social, and cultural issues in that history and deepen our understanding of them. Furthermore, we will discover the importance of  a gender perspective for the historical study of Christianity in Asia.

【Course Contents】

During the first half of the course, we will read through literature (in both Japanese and English) on the history of Christianity in Asia, especially in Japan, and identify problematic issues in each phase of the indigenization process of Christianity. For this purpose, you will form four groups (1. History of Catholic missionary work up to the late Tokugawa era; 2. History of Protestant missionary work in the Meiji and Taisho eras; 3. Christianity during the war; 4. Post-war Christianity) in the first class which introduce the literature chosen by the group and raise problems based on the literature. Then, each of you will find a individual research topic according to your interest, carry out research and analysis during the semester, and make a presentation on your findings in the second half of the course. Throughout the course, time for discussion will be arranged after each presentation. We will also watch movies and visit Christian organizations related to the content of the class. We will be deciding the presentation schedule in the first class, so make sure to attend. You should decide which era (see above) you would like to study by the first class.
