Representaion In Favor Of Books Foxe's Book of Martyrs

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 even 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.

Evaluation Out Of Books Foxe's Book of Martyrs

Persecution porn of the lowest order. As a historical document, it's important. But its anti-Catholic propaganda is an exclusive artifact of the European religious wars of the 17th century. Make no mistake, Protestants engaged in equal portion the lurid atrocities depicted in this book, half of which have little basis in fact, but much in propaganda.

I held off on reviewing this book in that I haven't "sat down" and read it through. I have read in it. This book can be a bit much if one simply sets out to read through it. I rate it highly for those who have suffered, those who still suffer (Google Voice of the Martyrs) and their witness. This is probably another book that should transcend the "good or bad" , "enjoyable or not" label.

Some day, I really will finish this book. Really, I will. I think i've started it 3, maybe 4, times. I think the caustic combination for me is the ancient language combined with the heart wrenching subject matter. I usually scorn the adaptations (for the modern reader) and have thousands of pages in the original works (Les Miserables, Shakespeare, and The Counte of Monte Cristo come immediately to mind) but this is one work I would recommend a modern adaptation...

Well, if you ever want to know the depths of cruelty that humans can sink to, when people don't think the way they want you to, this is the book for you. At least 9 of the original 12 apostles were martyred, beheaded, stoned, crucified, and worse, for their faith, and it only goes downhill from there.This follows history throughout the ages, as the church absconds, (for lack of a better word ) with lands, money, and titles by accusing anyone, albeit, rich or poor of not being part of the church

As a new Christian, a teenager, in 1969 I read Foxes Book of Martyrs. Those powerful stories ignited me, raised the bar of my commitment to Christ, and gave me a love for persecuted Christians. I pray this wonderful book from Voice of the Martyrs will do the same for countless readers. Hebrews 11 is still being written throughout the worldmay we learn from those stories. And, empowered by Christ, may we live in such a way that our own stories might one day be worth telling.

I have read this book several times, and it is part of my library for reference as I occasionally draw sermon illustrations from it. Fox's Book of Martyrs is a work that galvanized my faith in Jesus Christ the risen Saviour. It tells how other saints of God endured horrible persecutions and torture for their faith and of the grace they received to seal their testimonies with their blood. This book would be rated "R" if it were a movie due to the terrible sufferings forced upon men, women and

Fascinating but slow going. To be sipped a few pages a day. Lots of notes and archaisms, given that the first edition appeared c. 1535. Im always delighted by stories of Roman Catholic barbarity. Toward that end, Ive also enjoyed Benzion Netanyahus exquisite The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain (yes, he is Bibis father); Sir Steven Runcimans gripping A History of the Crusades in 3 volumes; James Shapiros fascinating Oberammergau: The Troubling Story of the World's Most
