"Regarding those who deserted him, those who betrayed him, not a word of resentment came to his lips... he prayed for nothing but their salvation. That's the whole life of Jesus. It stands out clean and simple, like a single Chinese ideograph brushed on a blank sheet of paper. It was so clean and simple that no one could make sense of it, and not one could produce its like."
So far I have read only a couple of quotes extracted from Shusaku Endo's "A life of Jesus". Both of them breathtaking. I can't wait to get into that book. Endo's "Silence" will be the topic of Martin Scorsese's next movie. Rats, I was sort of hoping to keep this author to myself. I'm going to hate the buzz.
