In this innovative new study, Candida Moss offers a radically new history of martyrdom in the first and second centuries that challenges traditional understandings of the spread of Christianity and rethinks the nature of Christian martyrdom itself. Martyrdom, Moss shows, was not a single idea, theology, or practice: there were diverse perspectives and understandings of what it meant to die for Christ.Beginning with an overview of ancient Greek, Roman, and Jewish ideas about death, Moss demonstrates that there were many cultural contexts within which early Christian views of martyrdom were very much at home. She then shows how distinctive and diverging theologies of martyrdom emerged in different ancient congregations. In the process she reexamines the authenticity of early Christian stories about martyrs and calls into question the dominant scholarly narrative about the spread of martyrdom in the ancient world.Anchor Yale Bible reference library.Church historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600MartyrdomChristianityHistoryPersecutionHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600Electronic books.Church historyMartyrdomChristianityHistory.PersecutionHistory272/.1Moss Candida R474571MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452829103321Ancient Christian martyrdom264499UNINA03390nam 2200733Ia 450 991045888310332120200520144314.01-282-72316-297866127231623-11-023227-810.1515/9783110232271(CKB)2670000000034045(EBL)570584(OCoLC)659500640(SSID)ssj0000437974(PQKBManifestationID)11270935(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000437974(PQKBWorkID)10448382(PQKB)11073408(MiAaPQ)EBC570584(WaSeSS)IndRDA00058868(DE-B1597)38805(OCoLC)979745123(DE-B1597)9783110232271(Au-PeEL)EBL570584(CaPaEBR)ebr10408322(CaONFJC)MIL272316(EXLCZ)99267000000003404520100520d2010 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrIFLA public library service guidelines[electronic resource]2nd, completely rev. ed. /edited by Christie Koontz and Barbara Gubbin.Berlin ;New York De Gruyter Saurc20101 online resource (161 p.)IFLA publications,0344-6891 ;147Rev. ed. of: The public library service / prepared by a working group chaired by Philip Gill on behalf of the Section of Public Libraries. 2001.3-11-023226-X Includes bibliographical references and index.
