This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.

"Foxe ́s Book of Martyrs," despite being little known even among Christians, is a classic of world literature whose impactful content resulted in significant changes in the religious and political consciousness of England. The author, John Foxe, spares readers none of the detailed tortures suffered by martyrs such as Andrew, Matthew, James, John Wycliffe, John Huss, among countless others. Foxe, who himself was persecuted and accused of heresy, turned to writing in the hope that his readers would repudiate the barbarities committed in his days, and indeed, his accounts, recorded during the time of the Reformation, exerted powerful influence on English society. "Foxe ́s Book of Martyrs" is a timeless work addressing a subject that, unfortunately, still permeates civilization in the 21st century: religious intolerance. It is a shocking yet revealing read of the difficulty humans have in learning from their past mistakes.

A Christian classic that’s inspired and challenged believers for more than four centuries! From the stoning of Stephen to his own perilous time—Reformation-era England—Foxe chronicles the lives, suffering, and triumphant deaths of Christian martyrs and traces the roots of religious persecution. Includes a preface that places Foxe’s masterpiece in spiritual and historical context. John Foxe (1516–1587), was an English Puritan preacher and author of The Book of Martyrs, a graphic and polemic account of those who suffered for the cause of Protestantism.
