In The Blood of Martyrs Joyce E. Salisbury chronicles the many
spectacles of violent martyrdom that took place during the first
three centuries of the Christian era, describing the role of
martyrdom in the development of the early Church, as well as its
continuing influence on many of today's ideas. Salisbury shows
through the engaging stories of the martyrs introduced in each
chapter, how their legacy continues to shape contemporary ideas.
Discussing modern martyrdom the book elicits deep lessons for the
present from the ancient past and outlining the possibility of a
religious future without violence. In The Blood of Martyrs,
Salisbury brings to life this tumultuous time in late antiquity and
sheds invaluable light on religious violence, modern martyrs, and
self-sacrifice.
