Through groundbreaking analysis of early Christian texts, Candida
Moss reveals that the words, actions, and deaths of martyrs are
modeled on those of Christ. Moss traces this imitation through the
literature of the Jesus movement and early church, then examines
interpretations of the martyr's death and afterlife. Arguing
against the dominant theory that the martyr's death was seen as a
sacrifice, Moss finds that beyond death martyrs continue to be
assimilated to Christ as intercessors, judges, enthroned monarchs,
and banqueters. Though characterization of the martyr as "another
Christ" ultimately conflicted with theological commitments to
Christ's uniqueness, Moss shows that, for a brief period, the
martyr's imitation was viewed as sharing in the status of the
exalted Christ.
