Be Still And Perpetua In Ancient Martyrdom
A devotional essay opens with Be still and know that I am God, then recounts Perpetua the 22 year old Carthaginian martyr under Severus about 206 A. D. Her imprisonment with her infant, steadfast faith, and calm amid trials are contrasted with her execution by gladiators. The piece cites Newton's hymn imagery and Gibbon’s historian observations on early Christian strength. It closes noting the mother Mary and the last whispered Amen and O God the Son prayers from the dying orator.
