内村声称,日本在世纪末重新开放时接受了西方文明,但没有接受基督教本身--西方文明的根本原因、精神和生命。这就是日本所经历的一切困难的根源。毫无疑问,内村相信基督教会拯救日本和日本人;真实的问题是“什么样的基督教?“在他看来,基督教信仰需要对福音的根本依赖;洗礼,圣餐和其他圣礼是不必要的。他还认为,上帝的真理可以直接透露给每个人,所以上帝和人之间的中介,如部长,牧师,或教皇,是不需要的。这一论点导致内村开始Mukyokai-shugi(非教会),否认制度教会。三浦在这里深入探讨了内村思想中的这一主题,以及内村对日本走向世界的使命的独特看法。这项研究不仅为西方读者提供了关于内村干三和日本非教会运动的新信息,也为基督教如何在新文化(如现代日本)中本土化提供了重要的见解。
Uchimura claimed that Japan adopted Western civilization at the reopening of the country in the late nineteenth century but did not adopt Christianity itself - the very cause, spirit, and life of Western civilization. This was the origin of all the difficulties Japan had been experiencing. There is no question that Uchimura believed Christianity would save Japan and the Japanese; the real question was "What kind of Christianity?" In his view Christian faith entails a radical dependence on the gospel; baptism, communion, and the other sacraments are not necessary. He also believed that God's truth can be revealed directly to each individual, so that an intermediary between God and people, such as a minister, priest, or pope, is not required. This argument led Uchimura to start the Mukyokai-shugi (Non-church), a denial of the institutional church. Miura here explores in depth this theme in Uchimura's thought as well as Uchimura's particular vision of Japan's mission to the world. This study not only offers Western readers new information about Kanzo Uchimura and the Japanese Non-church Movement; it also provides important insights into the way Christianity can be indigenized in a new culture, such as that of modern Japan.
