Were the apostles martyred for their faith? Sean McDowell vs Ken Humphreys
Playback speed
The argument that ‘the followers of Jesus wouldn’t have suffered and died for a lie’ is often used as evidence for the resurrection. But in recent years attacks have been mounted on whether the martyrdom accounts of the apostles are reliable.
