A translation of Ken¿i to Fukuj¿: Kindai Nihon ni okeru R¿ma-sho J¿san-sho (2003), Authority and Obedience is «a personal pre-history» of the postwar generation of Japanese Christian intellectuals deeply committed to democracy. Using Japanese Christians¿ commentary on Paul¿s injunction in Romans 13: 1-7, the counsel to «let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God¿», Miyata offers an intellectual history of how Japanese Christians understood the emperor-focused modern state from the time of the first Protestant missionaries in the mid-nineteenth century through the climax and demise of fascism during the Pacific War. Stressing verse 5¿s admonition to «conscience» as the reason for obedience, Miyata provides a clear and political perspective grounded in his lifelong engagement with German political thought and theology, particularly that of Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as he calls for a conscientious citizenry in his modern society. Showing both Christians¿ complicity with the state and the empire ¿ including the formation of a unified church, the Nihon Kirisuto Ky¿dan ¿ and their attitude toward Christians in Asia, and the complexity of the critical voices of Christians like Uchimura Kanz¿, Kashiwagi Gien, Nanbara Shigeru, and many others less well known ¿ Miyatäs work aims not at exposing cultural particularity but at showing how the modern Japanese Christian experience can give meaning to a theology and a political theory of how to live within the «freedom of religious belief». |
