 Although Kiyozawa makes little mention of Christianity in his writings beyond, for example, reflections on the doctrines of creation or monotheism from a comparative philosophical perspective, we find in his journal in 1898, amid passages from Epictetus and other classical texts, references to biblical passages in standard English notation. In relation to the notion “God is in man,” which he considers “an old doctrine” found in classical Western authors, Kiyozawa gives references to five Bible passages, including: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” (I Cor. 6:19); “Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us” (2 Tim. 1:4); “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us … He has given us of his Spirit” (I John 3:12–13).
