Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative explores the resilience of Japan's Hidden Christians, who preserved their faith in secrecy for generations amid severe persecution. Following the arrival of Christianity in 1549 and the subsequent ban in 1614, these believers, known as Kirishitan, maintained their beliefs without access to scriptures or external support. The book delves into the reasons behind their refusal to reconnect with the Catholic Church and examines the cultural tensions between Christianity and Japanese traditions. It offers a profound reflection on faith, identity, and the enduring nature of belief in the face of adversity.
