Foxes book of Martyrs

Biography  by 
John Foxe

This English classic revives the days when noble armies climbed the steep slides amidst pain and peril to conquer. Book of Martyrs is a living force; it is more than a work on Protestant history but a storehouse of romance and controversy that houses the sufferings of Protestants, from the days of the Lord to the present. It is an ecclesiastical history of troubles and persecutions in the critical days, focusing on Scotland and England. Published in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Foxe discusses Christian martyrs, medieval church, noting that the Church of England was a continuation rather than an innovation. He has ventured through the pain of martyrs that run death to give them light. Including accurate accounts from the historical writings, the book has encouraged national repudiation of the Catholic Church. The book is arguably one of the more technically complex and imposing books of this era.

Scofield was influenced by the dispensationalism of J. N. Darby. Creating a correspondence course that enrolled thousands of his students and being a regular on the Bible Conference Circuit, Scofield’s dispensational approach is brilliant and remarkable as he holds on to the literal, historical and grammatical system of biblical interpretations. Charles Trumbull’s book is the only book-length reflection on the life of a man who influences twentieth-century American fundamentalism. Scofield’s dispensational charts have made appearances in churches throughout the twentieth century and it has introduced the principle of right division to millions.
