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.
