About “Martyrs Mirror”

Martyrs Mirror, also known as The Bloody Theater, is a 1660 book written by Thieleman J. van Braght in Holland. It records the stories and testimonies of Christian martyrs, with a focus on Anabaptists. The full title describes the book as a record of defenseless Christians who baptized only after confessing faith and suffered for their belief in Jesus. The book includes accounts of the apostles and martyrs from earlier centuries who shared beliefs similar to the Anabaptists. It highlights the persecution of those who practiced non-resistance and remained faithful to their convictions. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
