Guruzilla's /var/log/knowledge-junkie ["the chatter of a missionary sysadmin"] 2003-03-08 11:40 PM cure of souls Previous Entry :: Next Entry |

If ever I'm privileged to meet Shusaku Endo, I assure you, I will address him humbly, as "sensei", and attempt to dredge up the phrase meaning "I learned a great deal from your work." (One doesn't express approval of one's seniors' work directly -- It's Not Done -- It would be presumptuous to think of oneself as sitting in judgement over one's elder!) But it's true, Endo has a great deal to teach -- two chapters in to Scandal, and already I'm afraid -- the great doctor has his scalpel out, and though I m sure it's not medical practice, I feel sure I hear him sharpening it. There's a VoL song with a line remarking that the cure is deadly, and therefore infallibly sure to cure the disease. Yeah, it's like that. Between The Samurai and this book, I am very very quickly realizing why Endo gets mentioned alongside professional theologians as one of the most important figures in Japanese theology. Pfft, I'd give good money or blood or lots of other people's money to have a comparable kirishitan writer in America... Well, thank God for translators, eh? |
