ISBN10: 0227172299, ISBN13: 9780227172292, [publisher: James Clarke & Co Ltd, Cambridge] Softcover Paperback. In this important book the Reverend Professor William Frend surveys martyrdom and persecution during the rise of Christianity, drawing on biblical and historical material as well as archaeological evidence.

Professor Frend thoroughly examines the persecution under Diocletian that led to the lasting division of Christendom into eastern and western parts. The concept of martyrdom is central to Christianity and this well researched book is an invaluable addition to the study of the first four centuries of the Church.
