English summary: Martyr worship is an important element of the Christian faith and was essential both for the internal cohesion of the faith group in its early founding phase as well as for its effective portrayal to the outside world, which was used for the conversion of non-Christians. This volume considers the evidence of martyr worship and demonstrates how the cult and worship of martyrs prevailed in Late Antiquity, culturally shaped society and how the idea of martyr worship still has a stylistic impact today. The martyrs of 9/11 are examples of this long line of continuity, when one compares the early lives of the Saints with modern Islamic websites. German description: Martyrerverehrung kann als Form des Totenkultes verstanden werden. Ihre Wirkungskraft reicht freilich weit daruber hinaus: Sie ist ein Faktor mancher geschichtlicher Prozesse. Welche Strukturen und Charakteristika lassen sich fur ihre Auspragungen im fruhen Christentum herausarbeiten? Was sagen die Quellen? Und wie lassen diese sich heute verstehen? Silke-Petra Bergjan (Professorin fur Kirchen- und Theologiegeschichte) und Beat Naf (Professor fur Alte Geschichte) forschen und lehren an Universitat Zurich.
