What does Christian martyrdom tell us about being a self? I argue
that Christian martyrdom provides a coherent and compelling
narration of the self in terms of the narrative of the life and
death of Jesus Christ: a narrative that orients the self in hope
towards the good and turns the self towards recognition of and
sacrificial service of other selves. In conversation with writers
such as Salman Rushdie and Charles Taylor and prompted by T.S.
Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral, I show that Christian discipleship
is not the path of establishing oneself securely, or pursuing the
good made possible through collaboration with earthly power, or
making oneself an identity through action according to some ideal,
or seeking earthly or heavenly renown, but is rather narrated in
the light of the experience of pierasmos (temptation/testing) and
with reference to God's providence.
