Theology in Japan: Takakura Tokutaro (1885-1934)

By J. Nelson Jennings and Nelson J. Jennings

Book Overview

Japanese Christian leader Takakura Tokutaro (1885-1934) is the focus of this exhaustive historical and theological study. Despite having played important leadership roles within the Protestant Church in Japan during the 1920s and early 1930s, Takakura's name is scarcely known outside limited Japanese theological circles. This study lends recognition to his influential role in the Christian Church. It also utilizes Takakura's example to provide further insight into the universalizing trend in Christian thought that continues even today.
