In memory of devotion and courage.

The book of martyrs is a classic of world literature. The book recounts the lives, sufferings and triumphant deaths of the Christian martyrs of history. Beginning with the story of the first martyr - Jesus Christ himself - this exceptional account traces the roots of religious persecution. It exposes the cases of famous martyrs like John Wycliffe, John Huss, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, Thomas Cranmer and many others.

Why read this work in the 21st century?

Unfortunately, the theme of religious martyrdom refuses to be relegated to the archives of history. Christians in various countries today live and defend their faith under the threat of death. Many end up paying the maximum price. And each of these deaths raises an interrogation in the conscience of every Christian: what would I do in his place? The reflection inspired by the death of the martyrs can lead us to the core of our faith.

John Foxe (1516-1587), author of the book, was born in England and studied at Oxford University. During the persecution of the Protestants by Queen Mary Tudor, she went into exile in Germany and Switzerland, where she wrote the first edition of this work. The message of The Book of Martyrs has shaped England's religious and political consciousness for several centuries.
