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. 410 0$aAnchor Yale Bible reference library. 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aMartyrdom$xChristianity$xHistory 606 $aPersecution$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aMartyrdom$xChristianity$xHistory. 615 0$aPersecution$xHistory 676 $a272/.1 700 $aMoss$b Candida R$0474571 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452829103321 996 $aAncient Christian martyrdom$9264499 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01555oam 2200433 a 450 001 9910698860803321 005 20160127142727.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002397257 035 $a(OCoLC)352926731 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002397257 100 $a20090527d2009 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWho adopts?$b[electronic resource] $echaracteristics of women and men who have adopted children /$fJo Jones 210 1$aHyattsville, MD :$cU.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics,$d[2009] 215 $a7 pages $cdigital, PDF file 225 1 $aNCHS data brief,$x1941-4935 ;$vno. 12 225 1 $aDHHS publication ;$vno.
