Description: "In the Japanese context, the Christian message is the new wine. For many it makes life convivial and exuberant. But there are others who understandably prefer 'the old wine,' the traditional virtues and accepted ways of being human in Japan. The main title is at once an explicit reference to Christianity and an implicit reference to the Japanese milieu. One of the chief interests of this book is to understand how a religion changes as it moves from one culture to another." -- from author's preface.
