[10e] Name these people, such as Saint Stephen, whom Christians regard as having died for their faith.
ANSWER: martyrs [accept protomartyrs]
[10h] Moss’s The Myth of Persecution cites the findings of this Jesuit philological society that published the 68-volume Acta Sanctorum. This society, named for a 17th-century Flemish hagiographer, holds that most accounts of early Christian martyrdom were either heavily edited or made up.
ANSWER: Bollandist Society [or Societas Bollandistarum; or Société des Bollandistes]
[10m] Modern scholars also doubt the veracity of the embellished accounts of martyrdom in Acts and Monuments, a book by this English Protestant writer. That book is sometimes known as this man’s “Book of Martyrs.”
