The Library of Congress headings for one later edition identify the work with martyrs, persecution, and church history, which remains the right core positioning for this edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoxe wrote as a committed Protestant historian and polemicist, and the result is not a neutral chronicle in the modern academic sense. It is a work of witness, argument, memory, and religious identity, preserving stories of men and women who suffered for conscience and faith while also shaping centuries of English Protestant imagination. Its scenes of trial, imprisonment, execution, and steadfast belief made it one of the defining religious books of early modern England. The work is widely known as \u003cem\u003eFoxe's Book of Martyrs\u003c\/em\u003e, though its original title was \u003cem\u003eActes and Monuments\u003c\/em\u003e, and it was first published in English by John Day in 1563. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of church history, Protestant history, Reformation studies, Christian martyrdom, religious persecution, and classic religious literature, \u003cem\u003eFox's Book of Martyrs\u003c\/em\u003e remains a landmark text. It is grim, partisan, powerful, historically important, and impossible to separate from the religious conflicts that produced it. More than four centuries after its first appearance, it remains one of the central documents of English Protestant memory and one of the most enduring accounts of Christian martyrdom in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 436\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45796453908559,"sku":"9781515433576","price":58.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/ST19M_enXV9781515433576.webp?v=1781472091","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/foxs-book-of-martyrs-a-classic-history-of-christian-martyrdom-protestant-witness-and-religious-persecution-alternatives-hardcover","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
