The pressing need of modern Japan is evangelization — less than three percent of Japan’s population claim to be Christians. Most Japanese follow a mixture of traditional Shintoism and various schools of Buddhism. Japan’s highly secular society desperately needs the saving gospel of Christ. Hirohito, emperor of Japan from 1926 to 1989, symbolized the role of tradition in Japanese life, which has kept the Japanese in bondage to the religions of Buddhism and Shintoism.

World History and Cultures is written from the Christian perspective. Basic to this perspective is the conviction that God is the creator of the universe and the controller of history. The Christian perspective is the key to a proper understanding of history, for it enables us to see God's purpose and plan in human events. Because man's actions are the product of his thoughts (Prov. 23:7), World History and Cultures emphasizes the important concepts and ideas in history as well as people and events. It exposes the error of Marxism, humanism, modernism, and many other false philosophies, pointing to the Bible as the only source of true philosophy. Unlike most other history books, World History and Cultures takes a conservative political and economic view of history. Students are taught to identify liberal principles and deal with them from a conservative, Christian perspective. - p. v. of teacher guide.

on what Japan needs most
The traffic in human bodies and souls was a cruel, despicable occupation, and Africans suspected any white men, including European explorers and missionaries, of being potential slave traders. This made the task of African exploration and evangelization even more difficult and challenging.

on the worst thing about the slave trade
Africa is a continent with many needs and pressing problems. About 75 percent of the people are still in the grips of animistic African religions, and many others are bound by the teachings of Islam. Although vast multitudes of Africans are coming to Christ, the huge continent of nearly 800 million people is still in need of the gospel. African believers, who make up only 8 to 10 percent of the total population, need to be taught the Word of God so that they may apply its principles and truths to daily life and the pressing economic, political, and social problems of their lands.
