Apostle's Death

Episode 8 examines the historical evidence surrounding the deaths of early followers—especially James, Peter, and Paul—and argues that their willingness to suffer and die supports the claim that they truly believed Jesus rose from the dead.

The episode surveys biblical accounts (John, Acts, 2 Corinthians), early historical sources (Josephus, Clement of Rome), and modern scholars to show the dramatic change in the disciples from fear to fearless proclamation and martyrdom.
