Endo Shusaku is celebrated as one of Japan's great modern novelists
and is often described as Japan's Graham Greene. Silence is
considered by many Japanese and Western literary critics to be his
masterpiece. Approaching Silence is both a celebration of this
award-winning novel as well as a significant contribution to the
growing body of work on literature and religion. It represents the
first attempt to feature an engaged, patient contact with this
pivotal text. Approaching Silence assembles and features eminent
scholars writing from Christian, Buddhist, literary, and historical
perspectives, taking up, for example, the uneasy alliance between
faith and doubt; the complexities of discipleship and martyrdom;
the face of Christ; and, the bodhisattva ideal as well as the
nature of suffering. Some essays will look through a wider lens on
Endo's work, comparing Silence to other works of Endo as well as to
the fiction of other authors. Approaching Silence serves as a
reader for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in religion
and literature, inter-religious dialogue, comparative literature,
Japanese literature, and textual reception.
