Here I Stand: Martyrdom
Tom Holland & Richard Carter
What is the meaning of martyrdom and why are martyrs remembered? This lecture draws on Tom Holland’s historical scholarship and insight into the concept of martyrdom in the ancient world and in Christianity, and Richard Carter’s personal experience of the lives of seven modern martyrs.
