    Course Description:

    This eight-week study program is geared to help those who are just starting in Japanese ministry and will help sharpen those who are still learning.
    Quote from Mariana Nesbitt: “This book offers twelve chapters that are designed to help us and our message to be less foreign and more acceptable to the Japanese heart and mind. One-stop shopping for the conscientious, busy missionary, minister, professor or student. For this purpose we use Japanese redemptive analogies, Japanese religion, Japanese religious consciousness. We look at good Japanese communication, Japanese literature, festival days and ceremonies and general objections. We understand why Japanese do not want religion, but want quazi-religious practices. We discover quotations from Japanese Christians, we look at the Bible in Japanese terms. We read about famous Japanese Christians and try to unpack the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for Japanese believers. And end with the all-important Christian identity.”
