| contents | The Christian Nobility of Kyushu. A Perusal of Jesuit Sources Madalena Ribeiro Historia From the very outset, the Jesuits strategy for missionary activities in Japan implied focusing especially on the warrior aristocracy (the buke), the only class with de facto power in a country devastated by a civil war. Winning over the buke for the missionary cause involved using kinship networks that linked these warrior families. Depending on the local conjuncture and the will of the warriors, the Jesuits achieved varying degrees of success. Based on a reading and analysis of Jesuit documentation,this article seeks to identify the way in which these links influenced the process of missionary activities in Japan. In short, these ties could result in the expansion of Christianity, the reinforcement of links between Christian converts or could even cause setbacks. 2006 artículo científico 0874-8438 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36101302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=361 Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies application/pdf Universidade Nova de Lisboa Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies (Portugal) Vol.13 |
