"The texts eventually proposed were the two treatises included in this volume: Jinjakō bengi 神社考弁疑 by the Shingon monk Jakuhon 寂本(1631-1701)and Fusō gobusshin-ron 扶桑護仏神論 by the Ōbaku monk Chōon Dōkai 潮音道海(1628-1695). The present volume contains the English translation of these two treatises, with introductions, annotations, and appendices that provide additional information on the authors, the texts, and two related books. Both texts are polemical treatises that Confucianism from a Buddhist or, in Chōon's case from a Shinto-Buddhist perspective. As is immediately appartent from the title of Jakuhon's treatise, the butt of both their criticisms was Hayashi Razan 林羅山 (1583-1657), more specifically, his Honchō jinjakō 本朝神社考 ("An examination of the shrine of our realm")"--Preface
