Fr. Peter Heers
About this episode

In this series of ten lectures given by Fr. Peter Heers, he examines the witness of the Holy New Martyrs of Russia in the aftermath of the bloody October Revolution, including both the personal testimony of their lives, their response to the heresy of Caesaropapism, and the spiritual lessons these countless confessor-saints have to teach us, the Orthodox Christians of the latter-times.

Lesson 1: Introduction: Russia’s Golgotha, A Type of the End Times
Lesson 2: The Onslaught of Persecution and Resistance under St. Tikhon
Lesson 3: The Renovationists and the Orthodox Response
Lesson 4: The Satanic Bolshevik Mentality and Methodology
Lesson 5: The Life and Witness of the New Martyrs (1917-1927)
Lesson 6: The Declaration and Stance of Metropolitan Sergius (“Sergianism”)
Lesson 7: Consequences of the 1927 Declaration and the Orthodox Response
Lesson 8: The Catacomb Church
Lesson 9: The Life and Witness of the New Martyrs (1928-1938)
Lesson 10: Conclusion: Lessons for the Last Christians
