John Foxe (1516-1587) es reconocido como uno de los m�s importantes historiadores cristianos. Exilado por las persecuciones habidas en Inglaterra durante el reinado de Mar�a la Sanguinaria, a su regreso, despu�s de la muerte de la reina, public� su famoso Libro de los m�rtires, una obra que caus� tal impacto en la sociedad inglesa de la �poca, que, hasta la aparici�n de El peregrino de Bunyan en 1678, los puritanos no ten�an otra lectura que la Biblia y el Libro de los m�rtires. Muchos autores, como Douglas Campbell y Henry Morley, creen que sirvi� para moldear el car�cter nacional y el esp�ritu de libertad en Am�rica, calific�ndolo como «un monumento que marca el creciente poder de un deseo de libertad espiritual, de desaf�o a todas aquellas formas que apagan la conciencia y que encadenan el pensamiento�. El libro -ampliado despu�s de la muerte de Foxe- es un testimonio hist�rico de las persecuciones desencadenadas contra los verdaderos cristianos. La edici�n espa�ola presenta una recopilaci�n completa de la vida y testimonio de los m�s insignes m�rtires primitivos y de los m�rtires protestantes, desde los tiempos de los ap�stoles hasta las misiones de finales del siglo XIX.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs

John Foxe (1516-1587) is recognized as one of the most important Christian historians. Exiled due to the persecutions in England during the reign of Mary the Bloody, upon his return after the queen's death, he published his famous Book of Martyrs, a work that caused such an impact on English society at the time that it Until the appearance of Bunyan's Pilgrim in 1678, the Puritans had no other reading than the Bible and the Book of Martyrs. Many authors, such as Douglas Campbell and Henry Morley, believe that it served to shape the national character and the spirit of liberty in America, calling it "a monument marking the growing power of a desire for spiritual liberty, for defiance of all those forms that they extinguish the conscience and that chain the thought�. The book - enlarged after Foxe's death - is a historical testimony of the persecutions unleashed against true Christians. The Spanish edition presents a complete compilation of the life and testimony of the most famous primitive martyrs and Protestant martyrs, from the times of the apostles to the missions of the late 19th century.
