Historians have not adequately researched the subject of Christ as hero – imitatio Christi heroica. The studies in this volume attempt to fill this gap for the Early Modern Period. A particular focus is on specific spiritual strategies of heroization that are can be observed and on their development in various media and inter-medially with respect to the heroization of Christ and the imitatio Christi heroica.
