Death in the Name of God (häftad, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
Through a multidisciplinary lens, noted scholar Rebecca I. Denova provides a comprehensive analysis of how each tradition adapted and redefined martyrdom in response to changing historical circumstances. By offering historical depth and critical examination, the author helps readers understand how martyrdom has been utilized to define faith, legitimacy, and religious authority in different eras.
An accessible yet rigorous study of the roots and transformations of martyrdom, Death in the Name of God features detailed historical context, primary source discussions, and thematic analyses. The book's three-tiered methodological framework—descriptive, comparative, and critical—guides readers through the role of martyrdom in shaping religious belief systems, including its origins in ancient traditions, its role in theological and political developments, and its continued significance in modern religious and social discourse.
An essential resource for understanding the enduring impact of martyrdom in Western religious thought, Death in the Name of God: Provides a multidisciplinary analysis of martyrdom through history, incorporating anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and religious studiesExplores how martyrdom developed in response to shifting historical and cultural contextsFeatures sections that offer deeper insight into key topics such as the evolution of Satan and distinctions in martyrdom between Sunni and Shi'a IslamExamines how martyrdom transitioned from an act of deliberate sacrifice to a modern concept of victimhood and social struggleIncludes timelines, figures, and archaeological findings to provide visual and historical context Offering a non-theological, academic perspective that fosters objective discussion on a historically and politically charged topic, Death in the Name of God: Martyrs and Martyrdom is perfect for courses in Religious Studies, History, Theology, and Middle Eastern Studies.
It is particularly well-suited for degree programs in the liberal arts and social sciences, offering foundational knowledge for courses on the history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as broader discussions on religious violence and martyrdom in contemporary society.
