The My¿tei Dialogues is the first complete English translation one of the most important works of early Japanese Christianity. Fukansai Habian ?s My¿tei mond¿ (1605) presents a sharp critique of the three main Japanese traditions, Buddhism, Shint¿, and Confucianism, followed by an explanation of the main tenets of Christianity specifically aimed at a Japanese audience. Written by a convert, it is of importance not merely because it shows us how the Christian message was presented by a Japanese to other Japanese, but also for what it reveals about the state of the three native traditions at the beginning of the seventeenth century.
