As I'm aware of Honor/Shame framework through which most of the Asian countries operate, I could see a lot of my questions solved from that perspective. The Japanese Christians are struggling with a strong sense of identity for their country, and they don't want to shame their ancestors by putting Jesus as their God. I liked how I read about the Jesuit's in Japan and it reminded me of Matteo Ricci. Anyway, Overall a great book, it is definitely one of the toughest places for the Gospel. I would encourage all Christians to pause and learn from history. --Gottfried aucune critique | ajouter une critique
To what lengths are God's people and His churches prepared to go in order to preserve themselves, avoid persecution, or pursue growth? John M.L. Young understood the dangers of compromise especially when churches would compromise the truth and authority of the Word of God. Mr. Young writes, "History has indeed shown that in the time of persecution the church that tries to save its life by compromise with pagan demands will lose its life, while the church that is willing to lose its life in martyrdom, if necessary, will find its life preserved by a host of new believers." First published in 1961, the lessons contained within are of continuing and even growing value to Christ's church. Pressures once again are being leveled against the church and this is not confined to Japan, but is evident in the East and the West. Young's work continues to serve as a wake-up call to God's people to cling tenaciously to the Scriptures and aim at all times to glorify and enjoy God forever! "Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the Law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go." (Joshua 1:7, ESV) Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
