What do Saint Thomas More’s final letters reveal?

What does faithful courage look like in the face of death? For Saint Thomas More, it meant remaining steadfast in conscience even as imprisonment, isolation, and execution drew near. During his fifteen months in the Tower of London, More wrote letters and prayers to family and friends that reveal not despair but spiritual clarity, deep charity, and remarkable peace. These writings offer a rare glimpse into the soul of a man preparing to die without surrendering either his integrity or his faith. In The Last Riddle: Advice on Living and Dying Well from the Imprisoned Saint Thomas More, Hillsdale College professor Stephen Smith leads readers through More’s final writings and uncovers their enduring wisdom on virtue, friendship, duty, suffering, and hope.
