The Path to Silence: Japan’s Christian Century and Beyond

Walt Mussell is an award-winning author who writes both historical fiction and historical fantasy primarily set in medieval Japan, an interest he gained during the four years he lived there. The Path to Silence: Japan's Christian Century and Beyond details Japan's Christian history, focusing primarily on 1549-1650, a time when Japan had over 300 thousand Christian converts who were driven underground under penalty of death. The title refers to Silence, the book on 17th century persecution by Japanese author Endo Shusaku, which was released as a Scorsese movie in 2017.
