About Course

Everyone knows the legendary courage and strength of the early Church despite fierce persecution. Few, however, know where that strength came from. It turns out that it was not only supernatural power but also a specific, largely forgotten, theology that effectively motivated the greatest sacrifices. It is present and visible not only in the writings of the first centuries but also in the Bible itself. We only need to connect the dots to create the 12 steps of faith. And today, just as in the ancient times, Christians are persecuted. Although in the West, most of us do not pay the price of blood, we experience various kinds of pressure and restrictions on our basic rights. This raises the question of how we should respond. The ancient theology of martyrdom can serve as a clue.
