Book excerpt: First published in 1999, This book is a wide-ranging and authoritative review of the reception in England and other countries of Foxe’s Acts and Monuments of the English Martyrs from the time of its original publication between 1563 and 1583, up to the nineteenth century. Essays by leading scholars deal with the development of the text, the illustrations and the uses to which the work was put by protagonists in subsequent religious controversies.

It is one of a number of research publications designed to support the British Academy Project for the publication of a new edition of Foxe’s hugely influential text.

Book excerpt: A frenzied account of the persecution of Protestants in Europe in the 16th century, and one of the most famous pieces of propaganda ever written There are few more potent books than Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Innumerable English and Scottish Protestant homes had a copy, and in many ways, it is the founding document of a new identity that emerged under Elizabeth I. In vigorous, outraged prose, Foxe dramatized the "persecutions and horrible troubles" of those who had fallen victim to the Catholics, with lurid details and illustrations intended to whip up the reader's sense of horror and disgust. Foxe's extraordinary book is a great work of propaganda, a founding Protestant text and a work of serious scholarship, as well as a mish-mash of half-truths and outrageous assertions. This selection from Foxe, with a full introduction, notes, and reproductions of key illustrations, will be essential for anyone wishing to understand not only Elizabethan Britain, but also the core ideology that would underpin British anti-Catholicism as well as distance from, suspicion of and distate for continental Europe--an aversion that would last for centuries.

Book excerpt: A unique, wide-ranging volume exploring the historical, religious, cultural, political, and social aspects of Christian martyrdom Although a well-studied and researched topic in early Christianity, martyrdom had become a relatively neglected subject of scholarship by the latter half of the 20th century. However, in the years following the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, the study of martyrdom has experienced a remarkable resurgence. Heightened cultural, religious, and political debates about Islamic martyrdom have, in a large part, prompted increased interest in the role of martyrdom in the Christian tradition. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom is a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon from its beginnings to its role in the present day. This timely volume presents essays written by 30 prominent scholars that explore the fundamental concepts, key questions, and contemporary debates surrounding martyrdom in Christianity. Broad in scope, this volume explores topics ranging from the origins, influences, and theology of martyrdom in the early church, with particular emphasis placed on the Martyr Acts, to contemporary issues of gender, identity construction, and the place of martyrdom in the modern church. Essays address the role of martyrdom after the establishment of Christendom, especially its crucial contribution during and after the Reformation period in the development of Christian and European national-building, as well as its role in forming Christian identities in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This important contribution to Christian scholarship: Offers the first comprehensive reference work to examine the topic of martyrdom throughout Christian history Includes an exploration of martyrdom and its links to traditions in Judaism and Islam Covers extensive geographical zones, time periods, and perspectives Provides topical commentary on Islamic martyrdom and its parallels to the Christian church Discusses hotly debated topics such as the extent of the Roman persecution of early Christians The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of religious studies, theology, and Christian history, as well as readers with interest in the topic of Christian martyrdom.
