Nationalist Terminology in Japanese Hymns ( Sambika ni Mirareru Tennosei Yohga )

Shin Ishimaru

21 C Booklet #41. During World War II the hymns used in Christian churches in Japan acquired terms referring to God that traditionally were used for the Emperor and Shinto deities. This confused Shinto and biblical concepts of God and resulted in implied reverence for the Emperor that blinded Christians to the idolatrous ultra nationalism of the era. Some newer hymnals keep these terms even now. How should Japanese believers sing their faith in ways that are clearly biblical? A5 size, 112 pp. ¥1,575
