Summary
In this thirty-second lecture, Fr. Athanasios interprets the martyrs' cry in Revelation 6 through Luke 18:7, Luke 21:17-18, 2 Corinthians 5:4, 2 Maccabees 7:11, Hebrews, Exodus, and Daniel. He argues that the cry is not vengeance but longing for bodily resurrection, because the human person as image of God is body and soul together, following John of Damascus against Plato's view of the body as prison. The Maccabean martyrdom and Paul's desire not to be unclothed but further clothed are central witnesses to this theology. The lecture also presents the solidarity of Church Militant and Church Triumphant in the Divine Liturgy, and treats martyrdom as a charism prepared by the Holy Spirit.
