About this sermon

What is the truth about what history really reveals about how the apostles died? What did Foxes Book of Martyrs get right, and what did it get wrong? I published my Ph.D. dissertation on the deaths of the apostles in 2014, an academic book in 2015, and just completed a 1-year update (Routledge). In this video, David Wood asks me all the right questions about their fates. Enjoy...and please share!
