John Foxe

    1 gennaio 1516 – 18 aprile 1587

    John Foxe fu un autore inglese, più noto per la sua vasta pubblicazione "Foxe’s Acts and Monuments of the Christian Church", comunemente conosciuta come "Il Libro dei Martiri di Foxe". La sua opera si concentra sulla persecuzione e sul martirio dei cristiani, documentando la loro fede e i loro sacrifici nel corso della storia. Attraverso le sue dettagliate narrazioni, Foxe presentò un potente resoconto di perseveranza e devozione di fronte all'oppressione.

    Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    • From the first-century stoning of Stephen through his own perilous time—Reformation-era England—John Foxe recounts the lives, sufferings, and triumphant deaths of dozens of Christian martyrs. [Some were people of rank and influence. Some were ordinary folk. Some were his friends.] Four centuries later, these deeply moving accounts of faith and courage mark a path for modern Christians to measure the depth of their commitment. This edition, edited by William Byron Forbush (1868-1927), contains Foxes original material as well as some later additions (see chapters 5 , 6, & 10 particularly).
