Foxe's Book of Martyrs

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.
