Americanization of A Japanese New Religion under globalization-the Case of SGI-USA

本研究以过去6年的调查为基础，以美国社会的精神为参照，对美国SGI-USA的传播历史、成员的皈依过程、日莲观念在新信徒中的影响等问题进行了研究，试图解析索卡学会（SGI）在美国这个以基督教为主、由不同种族和社会背景的人组成的社会中的接受情况。

Based on research conducted over the past six years, this research tried to resolve how Soka Gakkai International (SGI) has been accepted in the United States, a largely Christian society comprising people of many different racial and social backgrounds, focusing on the SGI-USA's history of propagation, its members' conversion process, and the impact of the concepts of Nichiren among new believers, with reference to the American ethos.
