The Martyrs' Record: From the Roman Colosseum to the Modern Age

A Solemn Journey Through Centuries of Faith, Fire, and Blood.

The history of the Christian faith is written not just in ink, but in the blood of those who stood firm against the turning tides of culture and empire. The Martyrs' Record: From the Roman Colosseum to the Modern Age offers a sweeping panorama of the ultimate sacrifice, tracing the lineage of courage from the sandy floors of ancient arenas to the silence of modern prison cells.

David Michael Curtis guides the reader through the defining eras of persecution, examining the lives of men and women who counted the cost and found it worthy. From the early believers who faced the lions of Rome rather than deny their Lord, to the Reformers who burned at the stake for the sake of an open Bible, this work chronicles the unbreaking chain of witnesses.

Inside, you will discover:

• The Roman Era: A vivid look at the early church under the shadow of the Caesars, where the seed of the church was planted.

• The Reformation: The struggle for the English Bible and the fires of Smithfield.

• The Modern Witness: Accounts from the 20th and 21st centuries, proving that the age of martyrs has not ended.

• Historical Context: A factual examination of the political and religious forces that drove the persecution in each era.

This is not merely a history book; it is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit empowered by faith. It challenges the modern reader to ask: What do I believe, and how far am I willing to go to defend it?
