And the formulaic character of stories about past suffering paradoxically serves specific theological, cultural, or political ends in the present. Martyrdom and Memory explores the central role of persecution in the early development of Christian idea, institutions, and cultural forms and shows how the legacy of Christian martyrdom plays out in today's world.`--Jacket</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Elizabeth A.
