Description

The Suffering Self is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary study examining how Christian narrative representation shaped a new understanding of human identity in the Roman empire during the early Christian era. Judith Perkins explores the connection between Christian narratives and the development of the self as sufferer, drawing on feminist and social theory to explain why practices like martyrdom and self-mutilation held such significance for early Christians. This work bridges ancient history and early Christianity studies, offering fresh insights into how Christian representation during the imperial period fundamentally transformed perceptions of suffering, identity, and spiritual meaning. The book addresses key questions about the relationship between narrative, suffering, and the formation of Christian consciousness.
