John Foxe (1516-1587) es reconocido como uno de los más importantes historiadores cristianos. Exilado por las persecuciones habidas en Inglaterra durante el reinado de María la Sanguinaria, a su regreso, después de la muerte de la reina, publicó su famoso Libro de los mártires, una obra que causó tal impacto en la sociedad inglesa de la época, que, hasta la aparición de El peregrino de Bunyan en 1678, los puritanos no tenían otra lectura que la Biblia y el Libro de los mártires. Muchos autores, como Douglas Campbell y Henry Morley, creen que sirvió para moldear el carácter nacional y el espíritu de libertad en América, calificándolo como «un monumento que marca el creciente poder de un deseo de libertad espiritual, de desafío a todas aquellas formas que apagan la conciencia y que encadenan el pensamiento». El libro ampliado después de la muerte de Foxe es un testimonio histórico de las persecuciones desencadenadas contra los verdaderos cristianos. La edición española presenta una recopilación completa de la vida y testimonio de los más insignes mártires primitivos y de los mártires protestantes, desde los tiempos de los apóstoles hasta las misiones de finales del siglo XIX.
