The Bloody Theatre, or Martyrs Mirror of the Defenseless Christians
 who baptized only upon confession of faith, and who suffered and died for the testimony of Jesus, their savior, from the time of Christ to the year A.D. 1660

by Thieleman J. van (Thieleman Janszoon) Braght

"The Bloody Theatre, or Martyrs Mirror of the Defenseless Christians" by Thieleman J. van Braght is a martyrology first published in 1660 in Holland. This monumental work documents the testimonies of Christian martyrs who suffered for their faith, with special emphasis on Anabaptists and those holding nonresistant beliefs. Spanning from the time of Christ to 1660, it chronicles the apostles' martyrdom and countless stories of persecution. The book became a cornerstone of Amish and Mennonite faith, second only to the Bible in their homes.
