"I picked up this book soon after making a commitment to Christ. At
first I was shocked by the images of Christians suffering and dying
for their faith. But soon I was drawn into the accounts of how
these ordinary men and women--no different from you or me--could
face every kind of opposition rather than deny their Lord. Reading
their stories marked me and helped me resolve to follow Christ no
matter what the cost."
--Mark Mittelberg, Executive Director of Evangelism for the Willow
Creek Association and author of Becoming a Contagious Church
From the first-century stoning of Stephen through his own perilous
time--Reformation-era England--John Foxe recounts the lives,
sufferings, and triumphant deaths of dozens of Christian martyrs.
Some were people of rank and influence. Some were ordinary folk.
Some were his friends.] Four centuries later, these deeply moving
accounts of faith and courage mark a path for modern Christians to
measure the depth of their commitment.
This edition, edited by William Byron Forbush (1868-1927), contains
Foxes original material as well as some later additions (see
chapters 5, 6, & 10 particularly).
Hendrickson Christian Classics is planned to include all the
timeless books that generations of believers have treasured. Each
volume in the series is freshly retypeset, while thoughtful new
prefaces explore their spiritual and historical contexts. For
contemporary readers, here is an essential library of Christian
wisdom through the ages.
