#176-177: Clement of Alexandria - Praises of Martyrdom

Easy There, Fella, Everybody’s Gonna Get a Turn

In this episode, we begin a reading of Clement of Alexandria’s, The Praises of Martyrdom Those Who Offered Themselves for Martyrdom Reproved. What constitutes martyrdom for Christians? Where does the idea of martyrdom originate, and is it still a relevant topic for us today?

In part two of our reading of Clement of Alexandria’s, The Praises of Martyrdom Those Who Offered Themselves for Martyrdom Reproved, we discuss when martyrdom isn’t martyrdom and why the topic is more relevant today than ever.
