View this conversation with internationally renowned artist Makoto Fujimura, philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff, and theologian Neal Plantinga, hosted by John D. Witvliet. Participants describe their first encounter with the 1966 novel Silence by Shusaku Endo and then discuss the power of icons, the unthinkable forms sometimes taken by love, and the grace of God in history that gives voice to the voiceless. Fujimura also previews the film Silence, directed by Martin Scorsese. Learn more at http://worship.calvin.edu/resources/resource-library/silence-beauty-and-the-shape-of-christian-discipleship/
