Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond: Surviving Martyrdom

This book shows that living martyrdom was an important spiritual aspiration in the late antique Latin west. It studies three authors who attempted to create a new paradigm of martyrdom focused on living, rather than dying, for God.

Suitable for those interested in Christian history, religious studies, and martyrological discourse.
