What is worth dying for—and how do we live honorably when death isn’t the point?
St. George’s earliest lives depict a soldier who refuses imperial demands, framing martyrdom as faithful witness—an honorable life that may cost everything—rather than a quest for heroic death.
Rebekah Eklund is a New Testament and ethics scholar whose Beatitudes research—on meekness, peacemaking, and the persecuted—maps 2,000 years of interpretation in The Beatitudes through the Ages.
