Die Untersuchung behandelt das Thema der Opfer- und Martyriumsbereitschaft im Kontext kirchlicher Reformbemühungen des ausgehenden Mittelalters. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei die Beobachtung, dass das fünfzehnte Jahrhundert im Gegensatz zum vorangehenden Jahrhundert eine Reihe an namhaften Akteuren aus dem spätmittelalterlichen Gelehrtenmilieu hervorgebracht hat, die ihren Einsatz für die Durchsetzung selbst ausformulierter kirchlicher Reformanliegen mit dem Leben zu bezahlen hatten. Auf der Basis personenbezogener Fallstudien werden Erklärungsansätze für diesen Befund erarbeitet. Im Zentrum steht dabei die These, dass die für das fünfzehnte Jahrhundert zu attestierende Zunahme an gewaltsam zu Tode gekommenen kirchlichen Reformvertretern in einem engen Zusammenhang mit der Art ihres Reformdenkens und den Realisierungsoptionen von Reformen zu sehen ist. Es lässt sich in Bezug auf das Reformdenken eine im Vergleich zum vierzehnten Jahrhundert deutlich zu unterscheidende Vorgehensweise herausarbeiten, die auf die Betonung der Opfer- und Martyriumsbereitschaft als ein zentrales Instrument zur Umsetzung kirchlicher Reformanliegen setzt

Concepts of voluntary death and martyrdom versus the ideal of preserving human life are an essential component of the Ethics of the Abrahamite religions throughout their history. The studies collected in this volume focus on concepts of voluntary death and martyrdom in the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Period Judaism, Early Christianity and its pagan environment, Rabbinic Judaism as well as in Islam. The contributions of scholars of different background present a broad panorama of the varied perspectives of the Abrahamite religions on this phenomenon. The established concepts of martyrdom are challenged as too schematic. Betrachtungen über das Ideal eines freiwilligen Todes für den eigenen Glauben oder eines Martyriums, das in scharfem Gegensatz zum Gebot der Lebensbewahrung steht, ziehen sich durch die Geschichte der abrahamitischen Religionen. Der vorliegende interdisziplinäre Band versammelt Forschungen zu den Vorstellungen eines religiös begründeten freiwilligen Todes oder Martyriums in der Hebräischen Bibel, im Judentum des Zweiten Tempels, im Frühchristentum und seiner paganen Umwelt, im rabbinischen Judentum und im Islam. Die Beiträge verdeutlichen die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der abrahamitischen Religionen auf dieses Phänomen. Es zeigt sich, dass die übergreifende, verallgemeinernde Charakterisierung jedes religiös bedingten freiwilligen Sterbens als 'Martyrium' der Komplexität des Phänomens nicht gerecht wird.

The present volume's focus lies on the formation of a multifaccetted discourse on Christian martyrdom in Late Antiquity. While martyrdom accounts remain a central means of defining Christian identity, new literary genres emerge, e.g., the Lives of Saints (Athanasius on Antony), sermons (the Cappadocians), hynms (Prudentius) and more. Authors like Eusebius of Caesarea and Augustine employ martyrological language and motifs in their apologetical and polemic writings, while the Gesta Martyrum Romanorum represent a new type of veneration of the martyrs of a single site. Beyond the borders of the Roman Empire, new martyrs' narratives can be found. Additionally, two essays deal with methodological questions of research of such sources, thereby highlighting the hitherto understudied innovations of martyrology in Late Antiquity, that is, after the end of the persecutions of Christianity by Roman Emperors. Since then, martyrology gained new importance for the formation of Christian identity within the context of a Christianized imperium. The volume thus enlarges and specifies our knowledge of this fundamental Christian discourse.

"La religion chrétienne est aujourd'hui la plus menacée au monde. 150 à 200 millions de chrétiens (catholiques, protestants, orthodoxes) sont discriminés ou persécutés à travers la planète. Au Proche-Orient, en Afrique subsaharienne, en Asie, les chrétiens sont la cible de groupes armés et d'organisations terroristes. Ils subissent aussi des pressions sociales et des répressions d'appareils d'État. Surveillance, intimidations, assassinats, "épuration religieuse" comme en Irak sur le territoire de l'État islamique : la condition des chrétiens provoque une inquiétude de plus en plus forte dans la communauté internationale. Plus qu'une question de liberté religieuse, cette hostilité grandissante compromet l'existence même d'une civilisation et de ses valeurs. Le sort des chrétiens interpelle non seulement les croyants, mais aussi les non-croyants, les intellectuels, les gouvernements et les organisations non-gouvernementales."--Page 4 de la couverture.

This volume explores the phenomenon of Christian martyrdom and ideas of ?following Christ,? in particular focusing on theological and pragmatic difficulties in the early Christian period. How can martyrs successfully follow Christ without themselves entering into a competition with Christ? What happens when the idea of following Christ so faithfully as to experience martyrdom becomes impossible because of the fundamentally different living situation of the faithful? How are model and imitation shaped in comparison to pagan exempla? Contributions from archaeology, classical philology, ancient history, theology, and art history suggest some answers to these questions, drawing equally on ancient literature and material culture.

The Oratorian priest Antonio Gallonio (1556-1605) devoted his life to writing about saints. The thread running through his hagiographical oeuvre was renunciation of this world: humility, subservience and endurance. Yet he engaged with the expertise of lay people, jurists, physicians and engineers, so as to appeal to their interests and convert them. In order to emphasize how saints endured torture, healed disease and exercised piety rather than ingenuity, Gallonio ventured into those secular disciplines, even if he did not endorse them. This book surveys Gallonio’s published and unpublished works and his position in Roman society, to expose the tensions between a theocratic clergy and the self-assertion of skilled and scholarly professionals in the Italian Counter-Reformation.
