Christ in Japanese Culture: Theological Themes in Shusaku Endo's Literary Works Tapa dura - 2008
de Emi Mase-Hasegawa
Descripción de contraportada
This ground-breaking study on the Roman Catholic, Japanese novelist Endo Shusaku (1923-1996) uniquely combines western and Japanese religious, theological and philosophical thought. The author interprets Endoa (TM)s central works such as "Silence" (1966), "The Samurai" (1980), and "Deep River" (1996), from a theological point of view as documents of inculturation of Christianity in Japan. Analysing the social and religious context of Japan in a global perspective, the author identifies a central role for "koshinto" - a traditional Japanese ethos - in Endo's thought on inculturation. Endoa (TM)s change from a critical to a positive acceptance of the koshinto tradition partly accounts for his move from a pessimistic attitude of Christian inculturation in his early years to the growing theocentric and pneumatic concerns of his later years. Essential for Western readers.
