| Summary: | ThePassion of Perpetua and Felicitas is one of the most intriguing texts in all of early Christian literature. Far more than a ‘typical’ martyr act, the originality of the text, the particularity of several of its elements, and, above all, the possibility that it contains the actual writings of a third-century Christian woman, have ensured that it has been much read and much debated. The nature of the relationship between the Passion and the Montanist movement has often been discussed, with highly contradictory results, though the justification for this present study is that the subject has never undergone ‘exhaustive investigation’, such as Rex Butler sets out to provide. |
