Advice on Living and Dying Well from the Imprisoned Saint Thomas More

In July of 1535, Saint Thomas More was sentenced to be executed by King Henry VIII. Imprisoned in the Tower of London and awaiting his death, More turned his attention to questions of duty, conscience, friendship, suffering, and the mystery of death itself.


Out of those final months emerged a remarkable collection of letters, prayers, and meditations that are packed with saintly wisdom and still have profound truths to speak nearly five centuries later.


In The Last Riddle: Advice on Living and Dying Well from the Imprisoned Saint Thomas More, Hillsdale College professor Stephen Smith guides readers through these extraordinary writings with clarity and insight, uncovering the hidden wisdom contained in More’s final reflections from the Tower.

More famously described the central puzzle before him as discovering “how a man may lose his head and have no harm.” This book invites readers into that final riddle and into the mind of one of the Church’s greatest witnesses to courage and conscience.
