日中戦争のさなか、日本YMCA同盟が中国各地で展開した「大陸事業」の主導者、末包敏夫の敗戦までの前半生をたどる。末包は高松に育ち両親の感化のもと日本基督教会で信仰を養われた。同志社大学に学び、社会主義的思想と福音主義的信仰とをともに追究、卒業後YMCAへ投じた。神戸、京都両YMCAでは賀川豊彦や奥村龍三、中島重らの影響を受け「二つのSCM」(学生キリスト教運動と社会的基督教)に関係する。その後戦時下において「大陸事業」を主唱、自らその駐在員として南京、上海で働いた。敗戦直後その事業推進を担った自らの罪責告白的文章において、中国の友へ謝罪した。 / This study is about the life and work of Toshio Suekane, one of the leaders of the "Continental Enterprise" developed and carried out by the Japan YMCA Alliance in various parts of China amid the Sino-Japanese War. Suekane grew up in Takamatsu and was fostered in the Christian Church in Japan under the influence of his parents. He studied at Doshisha University, pursued both socialist thought and evangelical faith, and after graduating, dedicated himself to YMCA. Under the influence of Toyohiko Kagawa, et al., he related to "Two SCMs" (Student Christian Movement and Social Christianity) at Kobe and Kyoto YMCA. After that, he advocated "Continental Enterprise" in wartime and worked in Nanjing and Shanghai as a representative. Right after the defeat of Japan, he apologized to friends in China in his writing confessing the guilty responsible for promoting the business. / 博士(神学) / Doctor of Theology / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University
