Buddhism, Unitarianism, and the Meiji Competition for Universality by Michel Mohr
In the late 1800s, Japanese leaders invited Unitarian missionaries to Japan to further modernization. Mohr looks at the debates sparked by the encounter between Unitarianism and Buddhism and considers how the idea of universal truth was used by both missionaries and by Japanese intellectuals and religious leaders to promote their own agendas.
Michel Mohr is Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.
