What is martyrdom and how has it evolved within the Abrahamic faiths from antiquity to the present? This book focuses on the phraseology, practice, and purposes of martyrdom. It illustrates how each faith relates the new to the old, and examines the complex positive and negative interactions that continue to shape their concepts of self-sacrifice.
