The book deals with martyrdom understood as a philosophical
category. The main question pertains to the evidential value of the
Christian witness through death. The author approaches an answer
through a philosophical interpretation of the belief in the
evidential role of martyrdom. Numerous historical documents confirm
that ancient martyrdom might have been considered as a kind of
proof also by people unaffiliated with the Church. The author
observes the theology and the reality of martyrdom through the
perspective of the ancient philosophy of death and radical personal
transformation. He believes that the Christian stance in the face
of persecutions could have been understood as the realization of
the unrealized ambitions of philosophy, thereby proving indirectly
the veracity of the teaching revealed by Jesus Christ.
