| Summary |
"In their functions as memorial and devotional literature, the Acts of the Martyrs, are generally read as historical protocols. They are an access point for understanding the development of hagiography. By examining different genres and textual compilations (at times, synoptic), this volume reveals the diversity of this literature and documents its importance for understanding intellectual, social, and religious history"--www.redshelf.com. |
