The present edition is the original classic by John Foxe (1516-1587) now printed in BIG letters and big page size (A4), which has been recognized as one of the most important documents of Christianity. Persecuted by the government of England during the reign of Mary the Bloody, on his return, after Mary's death, "The Book of the Martyrs" came to life, a work that caused such an impact on English society at the time, that the Puritans had no other reading than the Bible and this book. Henry Morley believes that this document served to shape the national character and spirit of freedom in America, calling it a monument that marks the growing power of a desire for spiritual freedom, a challenge to all those forms that stifle conscience and shackle thought.
Every person who wants to know what true Christianity is like and follow in the footsteps of Christ should take time to read this precious document. It is a perfect gift for people who do not have good eyesight and wish to learn about the danger of uniting the church with the civil state. Perfect gift for those people that had problems with vision and can't read the other versions.
