Description
By Ryo Kawabata and Keishin Inaba This book is a study that analyzes the Soka Gakkai's missionary activities in the United States from the perspective of the sociology of religion. How did the Soka Gakkai in Japan come to be accepted by Americans and take root in American society in the United States, a country with a very different culture and religion? How did a Japanese-style organization transform itself in a culture so different from Japan's? How were the teachings and ideas translated and localized? How and why do people in the U.S. continue their faith, and what do they hope to achieve? The study was clarified from the perspective of the sociology of religion, including life history, conversion theory, organizational theory, and cross-cultural translation.

本書は、創価学会のアメリカ布教について宗教社会学の見地から分析を行った研究である。日本の創価学会が文化も宗教も大きく異なるアメリカ合衆国で、なぜアメリカ人に受け入れられ、アメリカ社会に根付くようになったのだろうか。日本と異なる文化にあって、日本型の組織はどのように変容したのか。教えや思想はどのように翻訳され、現地化したのか。アメリカの人々は、なぜ・どのように・何を願って、信仰を続けているのか。15回のアメリカ訪問によって、現地での行事に参加するとともに、70人以上のアメリカSGI(Soka Gakkai International)メンバーにインタビューを行った調査からこれらの問いにライフヒストリー、回心論、組織論、異文化翻訳といった宗教社会学の観点から明らかにした。『アメリカ創価学会における異体同心』(2018年、新曜社)の英訳版。
