Paradise Now: Jewish reflections on martyrdom
To most modern Westerners, sacrificing one's life in the name of religion is
a strange and foolish act. When martyrdom becomes a political weapon, as it
has in our world today, the phenomenon becomes still more alien and even vile.
But these questions hark back to older traditions, including Jewish and Christian
traditions of martyrdom. Join us, and guest Dr Mark Baker, in exploring one
of the most volatile of contemporary issues from the perspective and wisdom
of tradition.
