What is the meaning of Christian martyrdom? How does it relate to the broader demands of Christian discipleship? What are its implications on ethical themes of love, justice, suffering, and sacrifice? This undergraduate seminar engages these themes as they appear in Christian thought, tradition, and practice. The seminar is oriented in Christian thought; however, comparative religious insights and research can be incorporated into class discussion, small group research presentations, and individual student research projects.
