Desiring Martyrs

In the collective volume Desiring Martyrs. Locating Martyrs in Space and Time, the editors Harry O. Maier and Katharina Waldner published the proceedings of an international workshop, “Martyrs in Space and Time”, organized at the University of Erfurt in 2017. The Desiring Martyrs is dedicated to the spatial and temporal considerations of the literature that emerged in the early Christian period (p. 1). The volume addresses the assortment of sources and does not necessarily focus solely on martyrdom narratives. Other genres, such as letters, apocalypses, Apocrypha, and biblical books, are likewise examined. With that said, martyrs and martyrdom are treated in all articles. The volume Desiring Martyrs has contributed to the study of MAIER, HARRY O. & WALDNER, KATHARINA (eds.) (2021). Desiring Martyrs. Locating Martyrs in Space and Time.
