Polycarp's Letter to the Philippians & His Martyrdom

The Early Christians

By: St. Polycarp, The Church at Smyrna

Narrated by: Lamar Peugh

Glory to God for the men of old who endured the persecutions of this world with joy and faith. Much can be learned from those who have looked death in the face and yet remained true to the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Polycarp was such a man who learned from the great apostle John. Even under the threat of death, he remained true to his beloved bridegroom, Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, amen!

Even today, some 2000 years later, we have his own words and are able to learn from his wisdom. May you be blessed as you listen to this book. Amen.

It’s hard to deny the testimony of men and women so close to the time of Christ. Hard to deny Christ with such original and historical texts.

Absolutely indescribable,

absolutely touching, just wow. To hear Polycarp's Christology, Trinitarian utterances, His Pauline soteriology knowing he walked with the appostle John. Just wow.
