Keane offers an explanation of Japanese divinity ( kami ?) using sociology, anthropology, linguistics, literature and history. He presents an overview of how the Japanese have sought to love and serve their kami - a quest that rivals the interest that the West gives to God. The principles of interreligious dialogue are applied to the meaning of kami and a plea is made for a dialogue that respectfully accepts differences between the cultures and the theologies of Eastern and Western thought. Important cultural themes are discussed as a part of this quest, such as the emperors of Japan and the Japanese Tea Ceremony. The work also challenges the understanding of kami as highlighted by Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Endo Shusaku. 410 0$aTheology and Mission in World Christianity$v4. 606 $aGods, Japanese 607 $aJapan$xReligion 615 0$aGods, Japanese. 676 $a299.5/6 700 $aKeane$b John J$c(Franciscan Friar),$01248430 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150543503321 996 $aCultural and theological reflections on the Japanese quest for divinity$92893514 997 $aUNINA
