Routledge 2002 200tr. Paperback, illustrations 23cm Context of early Christianity ... Martyrdom and Noble Death explores the fascinating phenomenon of noble death through pagan, Jewish and Christian sources. The authors look at Jewish and Christian articulations of noble death as martyrdom, asking how we construct the figure of a martyr, and what makes a passage a 'martyr text'. The book combines accessible introductions with a wide range of relevant translated texts, dating from the eighth century B.C.E. to the rabbinic period (up to the fifth century C.E.). The cross-cultural approach and wide chronological range of this study make it valuable for students and scholars of ancient history, religion and literature.
