Description:
"This first English edition of Foxe's Book of Martyrs was printed in 1563. Next to the Bible, it is the most noteworthy Christian book ever produced in England. John Foxe depicts the lurid details of the martyrdom of hundreds of Christians from the time of the apostles to his own day. Special attention is given to his native England in the reign of Mary Tudor, otherwise known as Bloody Mary (1553-1558), when about 300 Protestants were burned at the stake. More than any other book outside the Bible, this work is credited with establishing reformation principles in England and throwing off the Roman yoke. "
