Description

Margaret Visser's three presentations revolve around the concept of saints as Christian heroes. The first lecture. "Recognizing the Heroic" examines the concept of heroism in its original sense; the second, "Another Story" focuses on how the Christian revolution has redefined and affected the symbiotic relationship between the hero-saint and the society which admires such a person; and the third lecture, "Saints Now" looks at the modern understanding of the hero-saint within the context of contemporary culture

Canadian writer, radio and television broadcaster, and lecturer Margaret Visser examines how our understanding of heroism has revolutionized our world throughout the ages.

Regent College Professors Maxine Hancock and Loren Wilkinson provide responses to the lectures, with John G. Stackhouse, Jr. moderating.
