“When the Church does not feel pain with those that are part of them, the Church's nerves ... become dead.” —Sabrina Wurmbrand, Co-founder of The Voice of the Martyrs
John Foxe’s 'Foxe’s Book of Martyrs', first published in 1563, is a seminal work of Protestant history and religious literature. It chronicles the persecution and suffering of Christian martyrs, particularly those who were executed for their faith during the reign of Mary I of England, also known as "Bloody Mary." The book documents the brutal treatment of Protestants by the Catholic Church, portraying them as steadfast heroes who endured torture and death rather than renounce their beliefs.
Foxe draws from historical accounts, eyewitness testimonies, and church records to depict the trials, burnings at the stake, and other brutal executions faced by early Christians, medieval dissenters, and Reformation-era Protestants. The book was widely read in England, fueling anti-Catholic sentiment and reinforcing Protestant identity. Over the centuries, it has been revised and expanded, remaining a key text in Protestant history.
'Foxe’s Book of Martyrs' is more than a historical account—it is a passionate and dramatic narrative that celebrates faith, resistance, and sacrifice. Though often criticized for bias and exaggeration, it remains a powerful testament to religious persecution and the resilience of those who suffered for their beliefs.

John Foxe (1516–1587) was an English historian and martyrologist best known for his work Acts and Monuments, commonly called Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. This monumental work, first published in 1563, documents the persecution and martyrdom of Protestants, particularly during the reign of Queen Mary I. It became one of the most influential books of the English Reformation and shaped Protestant identity for centuries.
Foxe was born in Boston, Lincolnshire, and educated at Oxford University, where he became a devout Protestant. Forced into exile during Mary I’s reign, he gathered accounts of religious persecution in Europe, which later formed the basis of his book. After Elizabeth I took the throne, Foxe returned to England and expanded his work, reinforcing Protestant views against Catholic oppression.
Though often criticized for historical inaccuracies and strong anti-Catholic bias, Foxe’s Book of Martyrs was widely read and used in churches for generations. Foxe spent his later years advocating for religious tolerance and aiding persecuted Protestants. He died on April 18, 1587, in London. His work remains a significant historical and religious document, reflecting the turbulence of the Reformation era and the struggle for religious freedom.
