Abstract

evangelism take first, second, and third place. Perhaps the real tragedy is that, caught up in the bitterness of the fundamentalist-liberal theological wars, both sides failed to convince the folks in the pews that learning from the outside world was as important as lecturing to the world. And so we find ourselves reading Hollinger today and thinking of what might have been. Saint Mary’s College WILLIAM SVELMOE Architects of Occupation: American Experts and the Planning for Postwar Japan. By Dayna L. Barnes.

It is especially valuable for its wide scope. It begins the story early, even before the outbreak of the U.S.-Japan war in December 1941.
