What reading level is Christianity in Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In this proclamation, the great stress is laid not upon the religious, but upon the political side of the trouble. It alleges that the " Kirishitan " (Christians), meaning the foreign priests, pjopagate their evil doctrines in order that they may effect a change in the government of the country, and may be able to usurp the possession of it. This decree was followed by the banishment of three hundred priests, including twenty-two Franciscans, Domini- cans, and Augustines, one hundred and sevent...een foreign priests, and nearly two hundred Japanese, who were trans- ported to Macao. Others fled to remote districts in Japan. Some of them afterwards emerged from their hiding-places, and some of the exiles returned, when in 1617 the Shogun Hidetada issued a new edict, condemning to death every foreign priest found in the country. Immediately, a most ferocious persecution broke out against the Christians in almost every part of the country, which continued with more or less violence under Hidetada and his successor, lyemidzu, until by 1651 Christianity was almost entirely eradicated.
