AB - This essay focuses on the characteristics of the modes of the apostasy and the martyrdom in the major five works(“Silence”, “The Iron Fetters”, “The Gun and the Cross”, “The Warriors”, “Deep River”) of Endo Shusaku which shows the trends of author’s thoughts and their influences on the Japanese literary history.
Endo’s messages of the above works are as follows: First, no one can be defined either an apostasy or a martyr only through their behaviors since the martyr may hide his potential intention of betrayal. Second, once they have known Jesus Christ, the love relationship between them keeps going. Third, God is living existence who shows His love and care for people through their daily suffering. Fourth, human lives are interconnected one another. Fifth, every religion has the ways of perfect peace, the possibilities of salvation which is the essence of every religion.
Endo’s literary thoughts are shown through all these messages in which Endo suggests the right direction of religion based on his conviction of Love of God regardless of race or any religious denomination of the world.
