Perfect Martyr: The Stoning of Stephen and the Construction of Christian Identity
Matthews, Shelly (Dorothy and B.H. Peace Professor of Religion, Dorothy and B.H. Peace Professor of Religion, Furman University, Greenville, South Carolina)
This book analyzes the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, both in terms of rhetorical fittingness, and Christian tradition concerning the significance of his dying forgiveness prayer. It questions the historicity of the account of his death, underscores Acts' rhetorical violence, and reads Acts against narratives of the martyrdom of James as a means to a richer history of early Jewish-Christian relations.
