The USF Center for Asia Pacific Studies welcomes our Kiriyama Fellow James Stone Lunde to give a talk on Pedro Arrupe’s experience surviving the atomic bomb. Pedro Arrupe SJ was a Spanish member of the Society of Jesus stationed in Hiroshima when the Americans dropped their first atomic bomb on the city. This talk covers the history of the Jesuit mission in Japan from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, and introduces Arrupe’s remarkable memoir of humanitarian and spiritual work in the midst of apocalyptic war.
