CONTENTS

Juan Haidar	A Charismatic Pope
Honoré Kabundi	Interreligious Presence in Japan: Catholic–Shinto–Buddhist Encounters
Sean O’Conaill	Is It God Who Atones?
Joseph S. O’Leary	Anselm on Atonement
Jean Greisch	Olga Tokarczuk: Passion for the Book

Marking its eightieth year, the JMJ Summer 2026 issue offers a critical examination of Christian mission within Japan’s complex religious and cultural landscape. This issue situates contemporary missiology in continuity with Pope Francis’s pastoral insight that the Gospel advances through an engagement with reality rather than idealized constructs—a principle now informing Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica humanitas and its ethical reflection on artificial intelligence. Historical case studies of Francis Xavier and Matteo Ricci illuminate the enduring challenges of intercultural communication and inculturation in East Asia, while renewed analyses of atonement theology by Sean O’Conaill and Joseph O’Leary address persistent questions concerning the Father’s will in the Passion. Finally, Honoré Kabundi’s study of Japanese religiosity proposes a theology of receptive dialogue attentive to ritual, embodiment, and the sacramentality of everyday gestures. Together, these contributions invite readers to reconsider how Christian hope may take root even in contexts long perceived as resistant to the Gospel.

Published four times a year, JMJ features:

● In-depth analysis of Japan's socio-cultural and religious situation from a Christian perspective.
● Articles by Japanese and non-Japanese Church workers and scholars.
● Book reviews of Japanese and world-wide publications relevant to the apostolate.

JMJ presents easy-to-read, down-to-earth reports on Christian education, liturgy, ecumenism, catechetics, important Church documents, and literary and interreligious topics.

In the past, JMJ has helped pioneer cross-cultural discussion on crucial topics, such as ancestor veneration, Zen meditation, the meaning and role of Shinto customs, the writings of Endo Shusaku and other Christian authors, and the like.
Having entered the third millennium, JMJ focuses on the specific problems the Church is facing today, particularly in the Asian context of the triple dialogue with cultures, with other religious traditions, and with the immense multitude of the poor.

JMJ is a useful tool for both libraries and personal reference.
