Beschreibung
A harrowing chronicle of faith and sacrifice, Foxe's Book of Martyrs recounts the persecutions endured by Protestants and other dissenters from the early Christian era to the Reformation. John Foxe weaves a powerful narrative that highlights the steadfast courage of those deemed martyrs, tracing a lineage of devotion that culminates in the establishment of the Church of England. This monumental work explores pivotal moments, including the trials of early Christian believers, the turbulence of the Lollard movement, and the bloody persecutions of Mary Tudor's reign.
More than a historical record, this book shaped England's Protestant identity, embedding the suffering of its subjects into the nation's collective memory. It stands as both a vehement critique of Catholic authority and a profound testament to resilience in the face of oppression, cementing its legacy as a cornerstone of religious and cultural history.
