About this ebook
For over four centuries, Foxe's Book of Martyrs has stood among the most influential works of Christian history ever written. First published in 1563, it records the lives, sufferings, and triumphant deaths of the martyrs of the faith — from the stoning of Stephen and the persecutions of the early Church under Rome, to the Reformation and the English martyrs who went to the stake under Queen Mary.
This illustrated edition gathers the great chapters of that story — Huss at Constance, the Waldenses of the Alpine valleys, Latimer and Ridley at Oxford, and the lives of the Reformers — each opened by an original engraving in the antique woodcut tradition.
A timeless testament to faith, courage, and conviction.
