The Actes and Monuments by Foxe, John , sometimes referred to as Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a masterpiece of Protestant martyrology and history. It contains a polemical narrative of the persecution Protestants endured at the hands of the Catholic Church. The book had a significant impact on common conceptions of Catholicism in England and Scotland." Persecutions, awful tribulations, the suffering of martyrs, and other similar things incident... in England and Scotland, and all other foreign nations," is what is described in the book. The title ends with "in this kingdom of England and Scotland as partially as to all other distant nations apparteynyng," once more leaving the specific church in question. Tales of valiant bravery and triumphant faith. Tales about Christ and God's love. Stories of how God's incredible grace enabled men, women, and children to survive persecution and frequently horrifying deaths.

Would you die for the privilege of proclaiming Christ? For two thousand years, Christians have courageously faced beatings, stonings, torture, burnings, wild beasts, and every form of evil for boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Written in modernized English, this all-new edition includes the stories of more than 100 Christian martyrs not included in John Foxe's original work, published in 1570. It includes heroes from the Early Church to the Reformation with Christians in the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the twenty-first century.

The present edition is the original classic by John Foxe (1516-1587) now printed in BIG letters and big page size (A4), which has been recognized as one of the most important documents of Christianity. Persecuted by the government of England during the reign of Mary the Bloody, on his return, after Mary's death, "The Book of the Martyrs" came to life, a work that caused such an impact on English society at the time, that the Puritans had no other reading than the Bible and this book. Henry Morley believes that this document served to shape the national character and spirit of freedom in America, calling it a monument that marks the growing power of a desire for spiritual freedom, a challenge to all those forms that stifle conscience and shackle thought. Every person who wants to know what true Christianity is like and follow in the footsteps of Christ should take time to read this precious document. It is a perfect gift for people who do not have good eyesight and wish to learn about the danger of uniting the church with the civil state. Perfect gift for those people that had problems with vision and can't read the other versions.

John Foxe's ground-breaking chronicle of Christian saints and martyrs put to death over centuries remains a landmark text of religious history. The persecution of Christians was for centuries a fact of living in Europe. Adherence to the faith was a great personal risk, with the Roman Empire leading the first of such persecutions against early Christian believers. Many were crucified, put to the sword, or burned alive - gruesome forms of death designed to terrify and discourage others from following the same beliefs. Appearing in 1563, Foxe's chronicle of Christian suffering proved a great success among Protestants. It gave literate Christians the ability to discover and read about brave believers who died for expressing their religion, much as did Jesus Christ. Perhaps in foretelling, the final chapter of the book focuses upon the earliest Christian missions abroad: these, to the Americas, Asia and other locales, would indeed see many more martyrs put to death by the local populations.

In all ages, we find that a disposition to persecute for opinion's sake, has been manifested by wicked men, whatever may have been their opinions or sentiments on religious subjects. The intolerant jew, and the bigoted pagan, have exhibited no more of a persecuting spirit, than the nominal professor of christianity, and the infidel and the avowed atheist.
