Silence By Shusaku Endo with guest Van Gessel

Join us as we discuss Shusaku Endo's novel of historical fiction Silence, where he confronts the age old question of "Where is God during human suffering?" Van Gessel, our guest and translator of many of Endo's novels, joins us to clarify some of the discrepancies in the original translation, as well as the difficulty in general of teaching faith to an audience that doesn't share your language. If you're looking for an introduction to Japanese literature, Silence is a wonderful place to start. You will hear the faith of early Christians in Silence.
