About this listen

Step into the earliest generations of Christianity with two powerful texts tied to one of the apostolic fathers: Polycarp of Smyrna. This book brings together Polycarp’s pastoral letter—rich with Scripture, practical counsel, and early Christian ethics—alongside the moving account of his death, one of the most famous martyr narratives of the early church. With clear historical notes and theological commentary throughout, this edition helps you understand the people, pressures, and beliefs that shaped Christian life in the second century.

  • Two essential early church documents — Listen to Polycarp’s letter to the Philippians and the classic account of his martyrdom in one carefully guided volume.
  • Early Christian faith in practice — Explore themes of perseverance, holiness, church order, and faithful living rooted in the earliest post-apostolic tradition.
  • Historical context that sharpens understanding — Notes explain the Roman setting, persecution dynamics, and the development of Christian identity and community.
  • Scholarly commentary that stays understandable— Clarifies difficult passages, highlights key doctrines, and supports deeper study for students, pastors, and serious listeners.
