The Methodist mission in Japan

Charlotte Crawford, University of Texas at El Paso

Abstract

The history of Christianity in Japan synchronizes with the political and social development of that country into a modern nation. The history of Methodism in Japan as a part of the movement to Christianize the nation coincides with the periods of growth and retardation attend- ant upon the general movement. This movement is so sensitively affected by the political trends and traditional background that it is necessary to review some of the more important points in Japanese history in order to understand the vicissitudes that befell Christianity in general and Methodism in particular.
