Abstract

The purpose of this project was to study the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church history in Japan after World War II. It has been said that the Japanese church membership has not grown as fast as the church memberships of other countries in the Far Eastern Division. Why is the SDA mission so difficult in the country? In order to answer this question the writer surveyed, analyzed and interpreted the work of the church. He examined the pre-war and post-war political, geographic, economic, social and religious conditions of the country. The post-war church history was divided into four ten-year periods: restoration and advance (1945-1955); dependence on missionaries (1956-1965); transition from missionaries to national workers (1966-1975); and independence from missionaries (1976-1985). It is necessary for the church to grasp the cultural context of the country so that the church may develop an effective strategy of mission for the nation.
