Author Thieleman J. van Braght

The Story of Seventeen Centuries of Christian Martyrdom From the Time of Christ to A.D. 1660.

Here are graphic accounts of more than four thousand Christians who endured suffering torture and a martyr's death because of their simple faith in the gospel of Christ.

Songs letters prayers and confessions appear with the stories of many "defenseless Christians" who were able to love their enemies and return good for evil.

"Martyrs Mirror by Thieleman J. van Braght calls believers to follow Jesus in all areas of life even unto death. It includes more than fifty etchings by noted Dutch artist Jan Luyken.

"This classic gigantic work is the record of Christian faith and endurance from the first century to the persecution of the Anabaptist in the seventeenth.

"Baptist, Mennonite and other descendants of the Anabaptists will be especially interested in these stories of men and women who died for their belief.

"Published in 1660 by a Dutch Mennonite to strengthen the faith of his fellow believers it was translated into German in the 1740's at the time of the French and Indian War for the same reason.

"By 1886 it was translated into English to challenge generations of Christians in North America." -- Christian Bookseller

"What Foxe's Book of Martyrs has been to the evangelical church this volume is to evangelicals within the Anabaptist tradition of Christianity. It documents the martyrdom of thousands of little-known and well-known believers from the first to the seventeenth centuries who publicly confessed their faith by adult baptism and refused to recant at the demand of church or state officials." -- Bookshorts (Tyndale House Publishers)
