Essential Reading List Shusaku Endo's novel Silence, first
published in 1966, endures as one of the greatest works of
twentieth-century Japanese literature. Its narrative of the
persecution of Christians in seventeenth-century Japan raises
uncomfortable questions about God and the ambiguity of faith in the
midst of suffering and hostility. Endo's Silence took
internationally renowned visual artist Makoto Fujimura on a
pilgrimage of grappling with the nature of art, the significance of
pain and his own cultural heritage. His artistic faith journey
overlaps with Endo's as he uncovers deep layers of meaning in
Japanese history and literature, expressed in art both past and
present. He finds connections to how faith is lived in contemporary
contexts of trauma and glimpses of how the gospel is conveyed in
Christ-hidden cultures. In this world of pain and suffering, God
often seems silent. Fujimura's reflections show that light is yet
present in darkness, and that silence speaks with hidden beauty and
truth.
