Christian Martyrdom

Focusing on the theme of martyrdom, Edward Smither examines its biblical and historical significance within Christianity, contrasting modern Western desires for comfort and power with the enduring legacy of suffering in the faith. He defends the idea that martyrdom serves as a witness to Christ, a prophetic voice, and an act of worship. Smither encourages contemporary Christians to embrace suffering and martyrdom as integral aspects of their spiritual journey, challenging the prevailing notion of a pain-free faith.
