The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly
known as the Mormon Church, is quickly becoming a global religion
with more than 12 million members worldwide. In Japan, the number
of official members has more than doubled since 1980. Yet this
impressive growth has not been accompanied by research on Japanese
Mormons. What attracts Japanese people, most of whom have little
experience with Christianity, to an American faith? How are their
lives as Japanese people affected by the Mormon Church? Based on
research in a small congregation in northern Japan and in-depth
interviews with foreign missionaries, Japanese Saints is the first
book to provide an in-depth, qualitative examination of what it is
like to be a Japanese Mormon. Hoffmann pays particular attention to
how members joined the LDS Church, how it has affected
relationships with family and friends, and what membership in the
Church entails.
