El buen mártir según san Agustín

In the present work we intend to carry out a historical/dogmatic study of the main attributes and examples of life described by St. Augustine in his sermons on the role of martyrs in the Catholic Church at the beginning of the 5th century. For this purpose, his writings will be analysed in detail, and an attempt will be made to reconstruct as faithfully as possible the true concept of martyr according to the bishop of Hippo.
