Exterior trials rapidly befall the priests as they evade the authorities and witness the martyrdom of many believers in their care. The turmoil of Rodrigues's interior life soon comes to the fore when he is made to confront the bitter consequences of refusing to renounce the faith. Endō's gripping meditation on sacrifice and betrayal is a haunting account of the demands of Christian life and the trials of conscience amid violent oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shusaku Endo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1685782507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685782504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Word on Fire Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Shusaku Endo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874698408191,"sku":"9781685782504","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silence-shusaku-endo-9781685782504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
