Fools, Martyrs, Traitors: The Story of Martyrdom in the Western World - Lacey Baldwin Smith
the story of martyrdom in the Western world
KORTE INHOUD
Lacey Baldwin Smith takes us on a riveting journey through history as he examines one of the most baffling characteristics of the human experience: the willingness to die to sanctify a deity, defend a cause, or simply to prove a point. By delving into the psyches, politics, and personalities of martyrs like Thomas Becket, John Brown, and Gandhi, he illuminates the complex and elusive subject of martyrdom as it has evolved over 2,500 years.

Lacey Baldwin Smith: Fools, Martyrs, Traitors: The Story of Martyrdom in the Western World. Nice, probably largely unread copy with one (only 1) library stamp on flyleaf (and thus easily removed). The library label states: "Faculteit voor vergelijkende godsdienstwetenschappen Antwerpen. A faculty for comparative religious studies which had to disappear for not being appropriately catholic.
