A NEW LOOK AT THE PRE-WAR HISTORY OF
THE JAPAN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD
THE JAPAN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD

1. Introduction
There are two books published on the history of the Japan Assemblies of God (JAG).1 One was written in commemoration of the thirtieth year of the founding of the group and the other for the fiftieth year. Both books have a rather brief description on the pre-war history. The description of the second book is almost the same as the first book.
Reading the books, I had a somewhat unfulfilled feeling because there is something ambiguous in them; it seemed as if something more than just details due to brevity were missing. In reaction, my research started, wishing to gain a bit more clarification of this history. But I was perplexed to find out other significant incidents which actually happened but which are completely excluded from the two history books published by the JAG.
The purpose of this article is to give a brief sketch of the Pentecostal missionaries in order to examine the JAG historiography and then to propose a framework for the pre-war JAG history which could be used as an aid in understanding our future examination of that history.
