The book examines the concept of noble death across pagan, Jewish, and Christian traditions, contrasting modern discomfort with death to classical perspectives that celebrated public self-sacrifice. It highlights how Romans revered heroic deaths in battle or the arena, while Socratic suicide was seen as commendable.
