Described in turn with drama and insight are the deep-lying roots of popular Shinto, the dynamics of the Buddhist philosophical conquest of japan, the vicissitudes of the Christian missionary effort..
In no other book is found such a highly documented account, given in historical perspective, of the relationship between the various religious bodies in Japan and the government, leading to the tragic exploitation of the indigenous Shinto for militaristic ends.
A final chapter outlines the revolutionary efforts of the American Occupation on Japanese religions and ends with a hopeful prognosis for their healthy development in the future.
