| Summary |
"Kanamori's Life-Story: Told by Himself; How the Higher Criticism Wrecked a Japanese Christian—and How He Came Back" is a personal memoir written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the life experiences of Paul M. Kanamori, particularly focusing on his journey of faith as he navigates the challenges posed by modern theological critiques and ultimately finds his way back to his Christian beliefs. The memoir reflects on themes of doubt, loss, and redemption within the context of his cultural background in Japan and the greater evangelical mission. At the start of the narrative, Kanamori introduces key events in Japanese history that shaped his early life, particularly the transformation of his country following the arrival of Western influences. He describes his conversion to Christianity during an educational experience at Captain Janes' military school, where he and fellow students experienced a revival, embracing their newfound faith in the face of societal pressures and severe family persecution. The opening portion sets the stage for his later struggles with modern theology and criticism, providing readers with insight into the foundations of his faith and the historical context that shapes his identity as a Christian in a rapidly changing Japan.
