Light from the Readable Books 28: 4 Maccabees, God’s Reason, and the Passions

from A Lamp for Today · host Dr. Edith M. Humphrey

We read 4 Maccabees, a book on the very edge of the canon, in the light of what St. Gregory Nazianzen says, as well as in light of Hebrews 11, Acts 22, and Revelation 12. In it are poignant examples of martyrdom, and strong encouragement to not be ruled by our passions.
