- Information
Description
The suffering woman, Blandina, emerges as an archetypal figure of the martyrs of Lyon.
This slave-woman ultimately arises to engage in battle with the powers of the Roman Empire.
Through the application of Bowen Family Systems Theory and the writings of Michel Foucault the book explains the function of anxiety, and the dynamics at work in the system that result in the failure of Roman authority to use power to quell the rise of Christianity.
The reactions of those who might appear to be the most powerful are essential in gifting power to this lowly slave.
