Abstract:
"They faced torture - brutality - the stake - rather than deny their vision of truth and of God. Unshakable in their faith and courage, these early reformers and martyrs have inspired the Christian Church for five centuries. This magnificent account of their ordeal - and its turbulent historical background - is an unequalled record of man's devotion to God in the face of persecution and atrocity, and a formidable reminder "of a tragic and disastrous era." -- back cover.
