Foxe's Book of Martyrs – A Testament to Unwavering Faith

In 1563, John Foxe set out to preserve the stories of those who gave their lives for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Beginning with Stephen, the first Christian martyr, Foxe’s Book of Martyrs spans centuries of persecution, concluding with the martyrs who died during the bloody reign of Queen Mary. Foxe understood that forgetting these stories would be detrimental to the Church—if the cost of following Christ is not remembered, the Church risks growing complacent.

Martyrdom is not a thing of the past; today, Christians around the world are persecuted for their faith. In fact, more Christians were martyred in the 20th century than in all previous centuries combined. Foxe’s work is a powerful reminder of the cost of discipleship and the courage required to remain faithful in the face of suffering. As you read these stories, let the faith, courage, and love of the martyrs inspire you to stand firm in your own walk with Christ.

This updated edition includes reports on 20th and 21st-century martyrs, a full-color timeline of key events and individuals for historical context, and has been carefully edited into Modern American English for today’s readers.
