Description

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.
