ĞMy Share of God's Reward refers to a quote from Ignatius of
Antioch, speaking of the desired compensation for his impending
martyrdom. The author investigates the roles and widely varying
conceptions of the afterlife presented in early Christian martyrdom
accounts and concludes that personal immortality is integral to the
functioning of these texts, as the anticipated reward for a
martyr's death. Accordingly, the very diverse conceptions of the
afterlife presented in them are indicative of the frequently
ignored theological diversity and experimental spirit prevalent in
both early Christianity and late Second Temple Judaism. The
discussion also incorporates a unique definition of martyrdom that
recognizes the genealogical and developmental connections between
Christian martyrdom and its antecedents.
