Bücher von John Foxe

Le Livre des Martyrs de Foxe, par John Foxe, est un récit des martyrs chrétiens à travers l'Histoire de l'Occident du ier siècle jusqu'au début du xvie siècle, et mettant l'accent sur les souffrances des protestants et proto-protestants anglais depuis le xive siècle jusqu'au règne de Marie Ire. D'abord publié en 1563 par l'éditeur protestant John Day, le livre fut somptueusement produit et illustré avec beaucoup de gravures sur bois et fut le plus important projet de publication en Grande-Bretagne jamais réalisé jusqu'alors. Largement possédé et lu par les puritains anglais, le livre contribua à modeler l'opinion populaire britannique sur la nature du catholicisme pour de nombreux siècles.

2018 Reprint of 1926 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The Actes and Monuments, popularly known as Fox's Book of Martyrs, is a work of Protestant history and martyrology by John Foxe, first published in English in 1563 by John Day. It includes a Protestant account of the sufferings of Protestants under the Catholic Church, with particular emphasis on England and Scotland. The book was highly influential in those countries and helped shape lasting popular notions of Catholicism there. The book went through four editions in Foxe's lifetime and as well as a number of later editions and abridgements, including some that specifically reduced the text to a Book of Martyrs. Published early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, only five years after the death of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary, the work is an affirmation of the Protestant Reformation in England during the ongoing period of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants.

John Foxe's ground-breaking chronicle of Christian saints and martyrs put to death over centuries remains a landmark text of religious history.The persecution of Christians was for centuries a fact of living in Europe. Adherence to the faith was a great personal risk, with the Roman Empire leading the first of such persecutions against early Christian believers. Many were crucified, put to the sword, or burned alive - gruesome forms of death designed to terrify and discourage others from following the same beliefs. Appearing in 1563, Foxe's chronicle of Christian suffering proved a great success among Protestants. It gave literate Christians the ability to discover and read about brave believers who died for expressing their religion, much as did Jesus Christ. Perhaps in foretelling, the final chapter of the book focuses upon the earliest Christian missions abroad: these, to the Americas, Asia and other locales, would indeed see many more martyrs put to death by the local populations.
