Peter van der Veer观察到，殖民时代使得对社区的新想象成为可能，尤其是在宗教领域，这些新想象得以形成。具有讽刺意味的是，试图用一种能够俘获人心的“国家教义”来对抗基督教，导致了另一种危机。帝国机构协助治理的能力取决于其超越选择可能性的能力。明治政府从幕府继承了隐藏基督徒的问题，别无选择，只能重申禁令，这在很大程度上是为了防止日本境内的基督教皈依为激进分子破坏其仍然脆弱的统治提供借口。明治政府对基督教政策背后的政治考量，在与协约国代表的交流中显露得更为清晰。关键词：基督教皈依；殖民时代;隐藏的基督徒;帝国主义制度;日本;明治状态;国家主义;条约的权力
Peter van der Veer observes that tthe colonial era makes new imaginations of community possible, and it is especially in the religious domain that these new imaginations take shape. Ironically, the attempt to counter Christianity with a "national doctrine" capable of capturing the hearts of the people led to a crisis of a different kind. The ability of the imperial institution to assist governance depended on its ability to stand above the possibility of choice. The Meiji state inherited the problem of the hidden Christians from the shogunate and had little choice but to reaffirm the prohibition in large part to prevent Christian conversions within Japan from providing an excuse for radicals to undermine its still fragile rule. The political calculus behind the Meiji state's policy towards Christianity reveals itself more clearly in exchanges with the representatives of the Treaty Powers.
