The new Foxe's book of martyrs / by John Foxe ; rewritten and updated by Harold J. Chadwick.

Note on front cover reads: Including recent accounts... over 160,000 martyrs each year!

Section 1: The first sixteen centuries -- Section 2: The next three centuries -- Section 3: This century (to 1997)

Foxe's last revision of his Book of Martyrs was in 1570. In the 18th century others added to his book. But Christians have continued to be persecuted and martyred every year since then. More Christians were martyred in this century alone than in all the past centuries combined. The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs tells their stories from A.D. 37 to 1997 in modern English, and includes new historical data that clarifies and harmonizes people, places, and times.--Amazon.com
