How I Became a Christian

by Kanzo Uchimura

Kanzo Uchimura's candid spiritual autobiography — subtitled "Out of My Diary" — describing his upbringing amid Japan's traditional faiths, his conversion at Sapporo Agricultural College, and his struggle to be a Christian on Japanese terms.

The changed life

Raised in a samurai family in the practices of Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucian duty, he was baptized in 1877 and became a leading Japanese Christian author, pacifist, and founder of the indigenous Non-church (Mukyokai) movement.
