HIST100WMPO - Martyrdom in Early Christianity and IslamWhen Offered: Offered alternate years; last offered fall 2015.
Instructor(s): K. Wolf
Credit: 1
Martyrdom played a key role in defining Christian perfection from the second to the fourth century. Even after the Roman Empire embraced the church, the cult of saints–built on the physical remains of the martyrs-kept their memories and their influence alive. The prominence of martyrdom and martyr veneration in the Christian tradition ultimately helped lay the groundwork for martyrdom as a feature of Islam. Modern scholarly studies of martyrdom in the early Christian Mediterranean up to the emergence of Islam will be the focus of this seminar. Letter grade only.
