Dominican Missions And Martyrs In Japan (1897)

Dominican Missions and Martyrs in Japan is a historical account of the Dominican missions to Japan during the 16th and 17th centuries, written by Bertrand Arthur Henry Wilberforce in 1897.

It also examines the persecution and martyrdom of the Dominican missionaries during the Tokugawa era, when Christianity was outlawed in Japan. The author draws on historical records and personal accounts to provide a vivid and compelling narrative of the Dominican missions and the sacrifices made by the missionaries in their pursuit of spreading the faith.
