"These essays reveal how martyrdom has served and continues to serve religions in a variety of ways, allowing for cultural accommodation and assimilation in the case of Christian martyrs in Rome while at the same time fomenting various forms of internal religious debate in both Hindu and Islamic cultures."-- Comitatus, "These essays reveal how martyrdom has served and continues to servereligions in a variety of ways, allowing for cultural accommodation andassimilation in the case of Christian martyrs in Rome while at the same timefomenting various forms of internal religious debate in both Hindu and Islamiccultures."-- Comitatus, "These essays reveal how martyrdom has served and continues to serve religions in a variety of ways, allowing for cultural accommodation and assimilation in the case of Christian martyrs in Rome while at the same time fomenting various forms of internal religious debate in both Hindu andIslamic cultures."-- Comitatus, These essays together offer the reader a sense of the ways in which martyrdom distinguishes religions from one another.

Synopsis
Acts of martyrdom have been found in nearly all the world's major religious traditions. Though considered by devotees to be perhaps the greatest expression of religious faith, martyrdom is also one of the most difficult concepts for modern observers of religion to understand. This is especially true in the West, where martyrdom has all but disappeared and martyrs in other cultures are often dismissed as fanatics. Cormack seeks to foster a greater understanding of these acts by explaining how martyrdom has historically been viewed in the world's major religions. She provides the first sustained, cross-cultural examination of this fascinating aspect of religious life., Acts of martyrdom have been found in nearly all the worlds major religious traditions. Though considered by devotees to be perhaps the most potent expression of religious faith, dying for ones god is also one of the most difficult concepts for modern observers of religion to understand. This is especially true in the West, where martyrdom has all but disappeared and martyrs in other cultures are often viewed skeptically and dismissed as fanatics. This book seeks to foster a greater understanding of these acts of religious devotion by explaining how martyrdom has historically been viewed in the worlds major religions. It provides the first sustained, cross-cultural examination of this fascinating aspect of religious life. Margaret Cormack begins with an introduction that sets out a definition of martyrdom that serves as the point of departure for the rest of the volume. Then, scholars of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam examine martyrdom in specific religious cultures. Spanning 4000 years of history and ranging from Saul in the Hebrew Bible to Sati immolations in present-day India, this book provides a wealth of insight into an often noted but rarely understood cultural phenomenon., Though considered by devotees to be perhaps the most potent expression of religious faith, dying for one's God is also one of the most difficult concepts for modern observers of religion to understand.
