Abstract |
SEIHO NO HITO written as Akutagawa's reexamination of the New Testament life of Jesus indicates the author's view of Jesus himself and of Christianity in general. In this short essay, I treat the firs...t chapter of "SEIHO NO HITO" written as a preface under the title of "Ecce Homo" and I explain Akutagawa's interest for the Japanese Christianity. I conclude that the motif of "SEIHO NO HITO" was the rewriting of Jesus as a man, not as God, showing Akutagawa's distance from God and his sympathy for a human Jesus.show more
