![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() O livro dos mártires é um clássico da literatura mundial. O livro reconta a vida, o sofrimento e a morte triunfante dos mártires cristãos da História. Iniciando-se com a história do primeiro mártir - o próprio Jesus Cristo - este relato excepcional traça as raízes da perseguição religiosa. Expõe os casos de mártires famosos como John Wycliffe, John Huss, William Tyndale, Martinho Lutero, Thomas Cranmer e muitos outros. Infelizmente, o tema do martírio religioso recusa-se a ser relegado aos arquivos da História. Cristãos em diversos países hoje vivem e defendem a sua fé sob a ameaça de morte. Muitos acabam pagando o preço máximo. E cada uma dessas mortes suscita uma interrogação na consciência de todo cristão: o que eu faria no seu lugar? A reflexão inspirada pela morte dos mártires pode nos levar ao cerne da nossa fé. Esta nova edição conta com a tradução primorosa de Almiro Pisetta e litogravuras originais de Marcelo Moscheta. John Foxe (1516-1587), autor do livro, nasceu na Inglaterra e estudou na Universidade de Oxford. Durante a perseguição dos protestantes pela rainha Mary Tudor, exilou-se na Alemanha e na Suíça, onde escreveu a primeira edição desta obra. A mensagem de O Livro dos Mártires moldou a consciência religiosa e política da Inglaterra durante vários séculos. It's the super short version, and the last third of it gets a little graphic, but it's moving, and it leaves me with a big, urgent question: what is it about the gospel that leads people to give up all their comforts and risk their lives, and even sometimes risk their families for the proclamation of Jesus Christ? no reviews | add a review
Beginning with the story of Stephen from the book of Acts, considered the first Christian martyr, the drama builds to the passion of the early Church's persecution under the Roman Empire. The hardy and radical faith of those first believers spawned medieval missionary movements that spread the gospel across Europe and into England, Scotland, and Ireland. As the story continues, it places a significant emphasis on the sufferings of the early Protestants during the Reformation. As a vicar in the Church of England, author John Foxe strongly identified with the Protestant sects throughout Europe, and his loyalty to their cause comes through in his descriptions of many early clashes between Catholic and Protestant believers. Listeners are given an opportunity to experience the storytelling that incited several wars between Catholic and Protestant forces. The political and personal passion of the Reformation continues with the stories of the French Protestants during and after the French Revolution. No library descriptions found.
