For over two centuries, the Kakure Kirishitan—the Hidden Christians of Japan—kept their faith alive in secret, defying the Tokugawa Shogunate's brutal persecution of Christianity. In this compelling and meticulously researched book, Vincent Froom uncovers the remarkable story of resilience, adaptation, and devotion that defined these hidden communities.

Blending rich historical analysis with cultural insights, Hidden Faith takes readers on a journey through the Kakure Kirishitan's clandestine practices, innovative rituals, and unwavering faith. From their covert worship in hidden altars to their ingenious blending of Christian and Japanese traditions, these communities found ways to preserve their identity under the constant threat of discovery and death.
