Shinto and Christianity is the study of the intersection between the traditional Japanese religion of Shinto and the monotheistic faith of Christianity. This field explores the cultural, historical, and theological connections between the two belief systems, examining areas of potential conflict, synthesis, or coexistence. Scholars in this area may investigate how Shinto and Christianity have influenced each other, how followers of both religions navigate their dual religious identities, and how the two traditions interact within the broader context of religious pluralism.
