The psychoanalytic study of martyrdom -- 2. The family romance as victory story -- 3. Theologies of martyrdom recast authority and cult -- 4. Rereading sacrifice : human blood as a sign -- 5. The martyr's new sacrifice : solving the Maccabean sacrifice crisis -- 6. The happy ending of two wishes fulfilled.Centering on the first extant martyr story (2 Maccabees 7), this study explores the "autonomous value" of martyrdom. The story of a mother and her seven sons who die under the torture of the Greek king Antiochus displaces the long-problematic Temple sacrificial cult with new cultic practices, and presents a new family romance that encodes unconscious fantasies of child-bearing fathers and eternal mergers with mothers. This study places the martyr story in the historical context of the Hasmonean struggle for legitimacy in the face of Jewish civil wars, and uses psychoanalytic theories to analyze the unconscious meaning of the martyr-family story.Routledge Focus.MartyrdomBiblical teachingMartyrdomBiblical teaching.229/.7306Janowitz Naomi.976200MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910164029503321The family romance of martyrdom in second Maccabees2223665UNINA
