Rick Shrader‘s Review:

I don’t like abridged versions of important books but sometimes it helps to be able to read through a history quickly to refresh one’s memory. John Foxe (1516-1587) lived through the terrible times of “bloody” Mary Tudor of England. He researched his book partly in exile on the continent and partly in the UK speaking to eye-witnesses. It was first published in 1563 under the title,Acts and Monuments of These Latter and Perilous Days. At some time, a version of this book should be read by every Christian.
