Summary: A classic on those who burned bright in the darkness
Comment: Some historians have pointed out that Foxe was biased against Catholics. Although his personal conflict against Catholicism likely drove his effort to put this book together, one has to recognize that the very abuses described in this book are a large part of WHY he was set against Catholicism in his own day in the first place. So far as I know, most or all of the stories of burning heretics, which Foxe describes, are true. All of which is a part of what Pope John Paul II has begun apologizing for at the change of the millennium.
But Foxe also spends an equal amount of time retelling the stories of Christians who were killed for their faith during the days of ancient Rome. As a result, I don't think the book builds Roman Catholic resentment in most readers. Instead, it reveals the real fabric of Christian faith. Those who like only a rosey picture of the Church are no different than those who like only a rosey picture of the real world we live in. This book describes the dark times in Christian history, but the light is never lost in that darkness. And that is what this book is really about--the inability of the darkness to snuff out the light of true faith--whether it is an internal darkness within the Church or an external darkness that tries to engulf the Church.

Summary: Should be passed out at churches
Comment: This book should be read by everyone who calls themselves "Christian."Anytime I get to feeling life is too tough,and I start feeling like God isn't close,this book and the book of Job are the books to get me back to reality.When you read the book of martyrs and you read the horrible ways these Christians were tortured and killed you realize you have no reason to complain and every reason to be thankful.Thankful not only to Jesus Christ and the apostles, but to the Christians all over the world who are being killed every day for the Gospel.If you have ever wondered how the apostles died, this book tells you.Incidentally, John was the only apostle who died of old age.Humbling and educational

Summary: A wonderful collection
Comment: This book is the ultimate collection of the truth behind intolerance towards Christians and protestants in particular. Throughly updated and revised it bring the persecution of Christianity through 2002, so that you will see for yourself the more then 500 years of persecution and murder that has been done against Christians. In normal books one reads that Christians were the ones hurting and suppressing others but this book makes plain the truth, the truth that honest peaceful Christians are the victims of intolerance all over the world from Pakistan to the Sudan to Nigeria to India and beyond. Everywhere lone Christians are under assault and this book catalogs but a small portion of the incidents. From the beating and burning to death of a Christian woman in the Sudan to the raids by armed mobs on Christian youth camps in Indonesia this book is a wonderful collection. A must read for anyone interested in the present state of christianity in the world.
