520 |a Adapted from the 1966 novel by the Japanese Catholic writer Shusaku Endo, Martin Scorsese's Silence offers a timely occasion for expanding the critical discourse on adaptive fidelity. This article explores the ways that both texts draw from historical and scriptural sources within the Christian tradition—most notably the biblical tale of Judas—to clarify the meaning of faith in their respective contexts. Employing Andre Bazin's theory of adaptation, I argue that alongside their source texts, both novel and film compose an intertextual ‘ideal construct' of religious fidelity as dynamically lived across time and place, a fidelity paradoxically performed via various modes and tropes of adaptive infidelity.
