About the Author

John Foxe (1516-1587), born at Boston, Lincolnshire, England, was a devout and scholarly boy. He attended Brasenose College, Oxford and then Magdalen College where he held a fellowship for seven years. While a student, Foxe became known for his scholarly wisdom and piety and could have led a quiet and successful life; becoming aware of certain spiritual truths, however, Foxe embraced Protestantism. In 1545, he resigned his fellowship at the university and become a tutor for the Lucy family of Warwickshire. Shortly thereafter, he married Agnes Randall of Conventry. John Foxe worked for the Reformation, writing tracts and beginning his famous history of the persecutions and martyrdoms in England from John Wycliffe through the early 1500s. When staunch Roman Catholic Queen Mary took the throne in 1553, Foxe and his family fled England for the continent in fear for their lives. There he continued working on his manuscript, which was eventually published in 1563 as The Acts and Monuments of These Latter and Perilous Days. Foxe continued laboring on his work until his death in 1587.

Love it!
5 Stars
Love it!
This book truly is an experience to read and gives the reader an inside look at what so many people endured for loving Christ and refusing to recant their very bold faith in Christianity. It's a must read for every lover of Jesus. Highly recommended. Get it. You won't be disappointed. So inspirational and insightful. Almost makes me want to be a martyr!

5.0 out of 5 stars John Foxe Book on Martyrs is a MUST READ!!!

John Foxe book on Martyrs is a must read. My regret is that I was not aware of this book until recently. One can only imagine what the Martyrs (1 by 1) experienced as they refused to renounce their relationship and steadfast faith in the Living God, Almighty (Jesus Christ). Soli Deo Gloria!

My jaw hit the floor the minute I started to read about the modern them of the Saints and the apostles. The information contained in these writings add value and provide more context to the holy Bible. Would definitely recommend reading this book.

Like the Puritan writings, this is a must have in your library if you are a real Christian. It’s imperative to understand what our previous brothers and sisters in Christ went through in ages past. Outstanding book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Coming apart...
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021

As much as I was looking forward to reading this book, pages of the book keep coming apart from the spine. Maybe I can put a tiny bit of glue...but this is very disappointing. I've almost finished this book and I'm amazed at the faith of so many Christians. Looking at the past with 21st century freedom eyes, makes me so appreciative of these martyrs, and my growing faith in my Savior Jesus Christ. Bless all those who have given their testimony and their lives!!

This is a must read for Christians and those who care about people. I don't won't to forget this book and what my brothers and sisters did for Jesus their Savior. Lord, break my heart and the hearts that read this book. Time is running out, Jesus is coming back soon.

There is a saying that a Christian, besides the Bible, should have a copy of Foxe's Book of Martyrs in their homes - this could not be more true. This book will dramatically change your life as a Christian and a human being.
