Spinner, W. (English spelling) SpinnerW

...The term for the liberal theology that was brought to Japan from Germany in the 1880s. In 1885, the missionary Wilfrid Spinner (1854-1918) was sent by the Association for the Promotion of the Gospel, and came to Japan. He opened a Protestant seminary and published the magazine "Truth," preaching a liberal Christianity based on a rationalist understanding of the Bible through the historical and critical methods of the Tübingen School. His teachings, which did not regard the Bible as an infallible book of divine revelation but sought ethical significance as a religious record, came as a great shock to the clergy and members of Protestant churches in Japan, who had been influenced by British and American missionaries who held a supernatural understanding of the gospel to be the orthodox view, and many left the churches and lost their faith.
