Foxe's Book of Martyrs
Perhaps one of the most influential Protestant books ever written, this gripping and powerful description of the martyrs of the Early Church, Middle Ages and Reformation is a seminal work. This popular edition by William Byron Forbrush includes some martyrs in the centuries after the Reformation, and is both a powerful narrative and moving testament to the perseverance and unwavering faith of Christians from the twelve Apostles to the Reformation.
