The Myotei Dialogues in Early Edo Thought / James Baskind and Richard Bowring -- Emptiness and Nothingness in Habian's Critique of Buddhism / James Baskind -- Searching for God in Neo-Confucianism / Richard Bowring -- Undermining the Myths : Habian's Shinto Critique / John Breen -- Habian's Version of Christianity / Hans Martin Kramer -- Translation.
The Myo¿¿tei Dialogues is the first complete English translation one of the most important works of early Japanese Christianity. Fukansai Habian¿́¿s Myo¿¿tei mondo¿¿ (1605) presents a sharp critique of the three main Japanese traditions, Buddhism, Shinto¿¿, and Confucianism, followed by an explanation of the main tenets of Christianity specifically aimed at a Japanese audience. Written by a convert, it is of importance not merely because it shows us how the Christian message was presented by a Japanese to other Japanese, but also for what it reveals about the state of the three native traditions at the beginning of the seventeenth century.
