Summary/Abstract: Heroism is the criterion of humanism in general. There is a philosophical vitality, meaning a non-Christian one and a Christian vitality. The non-Christian vitality gave and still gives exceptional samples of heroism. Therefore the Christian theologian must prove the specific and the value of Christian heroism and vitality. Generally, Christian heroism is identified with martyrdom. It is also extremely important to understand that there is heroism without martyrdom. Having in view that to be an authentic Christian means to be a hero every day, it is necessary to be aware of this necessity and possibility. If the martyrdom is the heroism of the red blood, the sacrificial goodwill is the heroism of the white blood.
