「為什麼日本希望過去迫害基督徒成為世界著名的,」(Why Japan Wants Its Past Persecution of Christians to Be World Renowned, https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/may/japan-unesco-hidden-christian-persecution-world-heritage.html)
原来日本是为了:十幾個“隱藏的基督教”遺址即將獲得聯合國教科文組織世界遺產地位。(A dozen “hidden Christian” sites on verge of gaining UNESCO World Heritage status.)
而且文中有这样的一段:「“由於幾個原因,日本政府對隱藏的基督教網站的這一建議具有重要意義,”Makoto Fujimura說道,他在17世紀日本的一本關於信仰苦難,沉默和美麗的書中使用了Shusaku Endo關於迫害的小說。」(“This recommendation by the Japanese government on hidden Christian sites is significant for several reasons,” said Makoto Fujimura, who engages Shusaku Endo’s novel on persecution in 17th-century Japan in his own book about faith in the midst of suffering, Silence and Beauty.)
