FOX's
BOOK of MARTYRS
A History of the lives, sufferings and triumphant
deaths of
the early Christian and the Protestant martyrs
Edited by William Byron Forbush
"After the Bible itself, no book so
profoundly influenced early Protestant sentiment as the Book of
Martyrs. Even in our time it is still a
living force. It is more than a record of persecution. It is an
arsenal of
controversy, a storehouse of romance, as well
as a source of edification." - James Miller Dodds, English Prose.
