北川是日本宗教史领域的奠基人之一，也是研究日本宗教的著名学者，1966年出版了他的经典著作《日本历史上的宗教》。从那时起，他写了许多非常有影响力的文章，阐述了研究日本宗教现象的方法。到目前为止，这些论文仍然散布在各种学术期刊上。这本书提供了这些文章中的19篇，对我们理解日本本土神道、儒家、道教、阴阳派、佛教和民间宗教的复杂组合做出了重要贡献。在史前、日本宗教的历史发展、神道传统、佛教传统和日本宗教传统的现代阶段等部分，作者发展了一些有价值的方法论方法。这本书还包括一个关于美国佛教的附录。北川教授断言，日本宗教研究不仅仅是一个总括的术语，涵盖了对不同传统的调查，他从跨学科的角度来处理这一主题。他巧妙地将政治、文化和社会历史结合在一起，描绘了一个似乎是人类宗教经验的缩影的日本。
Joseph Kitagawa, one of the founders of the field of history of religions and an eminent scholar of the religions of Japan, published his classic book Religion in Japanese History in 1966. Since then, he has written a number of extremely influential essays that illustrate approaches to the study of Japanese religious phenomena. To date, these essays have remained scattered in various scholarly journals. This book makes available nineteen of these articles, important contributions to our understanding of Japan's intricate combination of indigenous Shinto, Confucianism, Taoism, the Yin-Yang School, Buddhism, and folk religion. In sections on prehistory, the historic development of Japanese religion, the Shinto tradition, the Buddhist tradition, and the modem phase of the Japanese religious tradition, the author develops a number of valuable methodological approaches. The volume also includes an appendix on Buddhism in America. Asserting that the study of Japanese religion is more than an umbrella term covering investigations of separate traditions, Professor Kitagawa approaches the subject from an interdisciplinary standpoint. Skillfully combining political, cultural, and social history, he depicts a Japan that seems a microcosm of the religious experience of humankind.
