Reading and comparing the Greek and Latin Church fathers with the Roman church of his day, Foxe realized that the church had departed from the faith of the early Christians.

However, as persecution arose for the opponents of Catholicism with ascension of Queen Mary, he had to flee from his country with his pregnant wife to Nieuwpoort. While in exile, he started gathering information on people martyred for their faith during the reign of Queen Mary. His book ‘Acts and Monuments’ also known as ‘Foxe’s Book of Martyrs,’ had a great impact on the history of the early churches as well as on Reformation.

The stories of martyrdoms described in its pages has inspired and continues to inspire Christian’s believers. Thereafter, he moved to Frankfurt where he served as a preacher for the English church ministering to refugees in the city. Later he returned to England under the reign of Queen Elizabeth and served as a priest till his last days.

Utter poverty, threats, criticisms and severe trials made his faith only stronger that made him stand true to the word of God. He believed that awareness of Christian history would make a difference in the lives of believers and the church and indeed it did. John Foxe
