True stories covering real events. Not just a book and definitely not a short story. Consisting of 22 chapters and preface makes for a great read.
John Fox (or Foxe) was born at Boston, in Lincolnshire, in 1517, where his parents are stated to have lived in respectable circumstances.
Before he had attained his thirtieth year, he had studied the Greek and Latin fathers, and other learned authors, the transactions of the councils, and decrees of the consistories, and had acquired a very competent skill in the Hebrew language.
When one recollects that until the appearance of the Pilgrim's Progress the common people had almost no other reading matter except the Bible and Fox's Book of Martyrs, we can understand the deep impression that this book produced; and how it served to mold the national character.
This is a book that will never die--one of the great English classics. Interesting as fiction, because it is written with both passion and tenderness, it tells the dramatic story of some of the most thrilling periods in Christian history.
It is hard to believe that Christians excommunicated, imprisoned, tortured and killed Christians. This can at least be understandable for non-believers to punish Christians but for brothers in Christ to do this to one another is hard to comprehend, understand, mind boggling, come to grips with or anyway you want to say it.
Foxe’s Book of Martyr’s begins in the 1st century and ends in the 17th. There are additions which takes you into the 19th century.
