Radical Martyrdom and Cosmic Conflict in Early Christianity (Library of New Testament Studies)

Radical Martyrdom and Cosmic Conflict in Early Christianity (Library of New Testament Studies)

by PaulMiddleton (Author)

Synopsis

Re-examines the presentation, theology, and origins of Christian martyrdom up to the beginning of the Decian persecutions. However, this project argues that, far from being a deviant strand of early Christianity, radical martyrdom was a significant, and widely held idealized form of Christ-devotion in the late first to early third centuries.
