 Martyrdom is one way to imitate the life of Jesus, but it is by no means the only way. In this program, scholars such as Graham Gould, lecturer in early Church history at King’s College, London; Clayton Drees, of the Center for the Study of Religious Freedom at Virginia Wesleyan College; and Rudolph Bell, professor of history at Rutgers University, discuss the lives and contributions of saints who subdued their earthly appetites for the benefit of the soul: Anthony of Egypt, Simeon Stylites the Elder, Augustine, Benedict, Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, and Ignatius Loyola. A Discovery Channel Production. (53 minutes)
