Using a qualitative interview methodology, this project presents Japanese converts relating the story of their conversion to Roman Catholicism. Japanese view Christianity as a foreign, disjunctive religion. Just as Japan historically syncretized Buddhism and Confucianism, Japanese experience a cultural conversion to Roman Catholicism that inculturates Japanese religiosity into a specifically Japanese Catholicism. Overcoming difficulties of syncretizing, or bringing together a new tradition and a distinctly Japanese culture of religiosity, becomes paramount if a Japanese Christian Church is to thrive. Rahner's vision of world religion and Vatican II, as well as James's and Lonergan's studies of language and religion, present a context for Western Christian tradition.
