Description: More than twice the size of the Bible, Foxe's Book of Martyr s is one of the most influential, best selling and monumental books in history. Foxe set a nearly imossible task for himself --- to record the stories of all the known Christian martyrs from the persecutions of the early church through the oppression of Protestant believers in the 16th century. Next to the Bible itself, Foxe's work was the major influlence on the developing English church andupon other Protestant movements in the following centures. Award winning historian Paul L. Maier brings his exceptional abilities to bear on Foxe's massive work in this new color illustrated, abridged edition. Due to the immense scope of Foxe's work, previous editions have left out many stories of the unsung heroes of the Foxe's Book of Martyrs (Edited with Commentary) More than twice the size of the Bible, Foxe's Book of Martyr s is one of the most influential, best selling and monumental books in history. Foxe set a nearly imossible task for himself --- to record the stories of all the known Christian martyrs from the persecutions of the early church through the oppression of Protestant believers in the 16th century.

Maier brings his exceptional abilities to bear on Foxe's massive work in this new color illustrated, abridged edition. Due to the immense scope of Foxe's work, previous editions have left out many stories of the unsung heroes of the faith. Maier's new abridgement includes every martyr mentioned in Foxe's 1570 edition, while modifying archaic wording for today's readers, condensing extraneous discussions, and providing insightful commentary to place these historical fi gues in context. Readers are helped ot only to know what happened but why it happened and to see the past in a way that informs the present.
