Book Notice: The Ancient Martyrdom Accounts of Peter and Paul (David L. Eastman)

I would like to congratulate my colleague, mentor, and friend Dr. David L. Eastman, Associate Professor of Religion at Ohio Wesleyan University, on the publication of his new monograph, The Ancient Martyrdom Accounts of Peter and Paul (WGRW 39; Atlanta: SBL Press, 2015). Here is the abstract:

"Eastman brings together for the first time all the various ancient accounts of the martydoms of Peter and Paul and more than forty references to the martyrdoms from early Christian literature. At last a more complete picture of the traditions about the deaths of Peter and Paul is able to emerge.

Features:

• A complete collection of the various Greek, Latin, and Syriac accounts from antiquity 
  
• Introductions and notes for each text
  
• Original texts are produced on facing pages for specialists"

I welcome this new addition and look forward to using it over the years to come! If you would like to buy a copy, you can purchase it from Amazon or the SBL Press.
