Sacrificing the Self: Martyrdom and Religion
Sacrificing the Self: Martyrdom and Religion
Acts of martyrdom have been found in nearly all major religions.

Cormack seeks to foster a greater understanding of these acts by explaining how martyrdom has historically been viewed in the major religions. She provides the first cross-cultural examination of this fascinating aspect of religious life.
