Publisher's Synopsis
Kanamori's Life-Story: How The Higher Criticism Wrecked A Japanese Christian, And How He Came Back (1921) is a book written by Paul M. Kanamori. The book follows the life of Kanamori, a Japanese Christian whose faith was shaken by the higher criticism movement in the early 20th century. The higher criticism movement was a movement in biblical studies that questioned the authorship and historicity of the Bible. Kanamori's faith was deeply rooted in the Bible, and the higher criticism movement challenged his beliefs. The book explores how Kanamori's faith was tested and how he ultimately found his way back to Christianity. It is a personal account of the impact of the higher criticism movement on a devout Christian and how he navigated through the challenges to find his way back to his faith. The book provides a unique perspective on the impact of the higher criticism movement on Christianity in Japan and the struggle of Japanese Christians to reconcile their faith with modern biblical scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
