Martyrdom as Witness in Late Ancient Christian Literature - Elements in Religion in Late Antiquity
Burrus, Virginia (Syracuse University)
This Element mentions that 'witness' is central to late ancient Christian understandings of martyrdom. Drawing on dual traditions of free speech, and the torture of enslaved witnesses, martyrs testified through their suffering and deaths to their own worthiness, to the tyrannical violence, and to the possibility of another world.
