Description of John Foxe, author of Foxe's Book of Martyrs:

This book is a chronicle of those who were willing to pay the highest cost for their Christian faith. The author begins with accounts from the early church, then jumps to Wycliffe and Huss, then to the Reformation (Tyndale and Luther). Foxe pays particular attention to the martyrs of the English Reformation: Hooper, Latimer, Ridley and others. This book has become a minor classic, providing a record of the courage of those who have given us our rich Christian heritage.
