Daily Devotions with Uchimura Kanzo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789490179052)

Uchimura Kanzo (1861-1930) is one of the most prominent Japanese Christian thinkers, the world has ever known. Uchimura Kanzo influenced many Japanese political figures as well as well known writers, among them the writers Masamune Hakucho, Mushanokoji Saneatsu, and Arimisha Takeo, who in 1910 founded the influential Shirakaba "White Birch", a journal that served as a vehicle for their humanitarian ideals. Uchimura Kanzo believed that a Roman Catholicism is only good for the Roman culture, and Anglican Christianity emerged from English culture, and a Lutheran emerged from Germany and German culture. Why then not have to have a Japanese Christianity that is fully compatible to both Japan and Jesus. Uchimura Kanzo is the founder of Non-Church movement: Mukyukai. Daily Devotions with Uchimura Kanzo is a beautiful collection of quotes from Uchimura Kanzo's writings. It is designed to enrich the soul, broaden the mind and to offer the reader a different way of understanding Christianity.
