Description

Explore a ground-breaking, interdisciplinary study of how Christianity spread across the Roman Empire. In The Suffering Self, Judith Perkins examines how Christian narrative representation shaped a new understanding of the human experience. By focusing on the perception of the self as a sufferer, this work provides deep insights into the psychological and social shifts of the early empire. This academic study uses feminist and social theory to investigate why specific forms of suffering, such as martyrdom and self-mutilation, held such significant importance for early Christians. It offers a unique perspective that moves beyond traditional boundaries, connecting ancient history with the study of early Christianity. This book is an essential resource for those interested in how narrative and identity formed during this transformative period of history.
