In Chapter 5 of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, we delve into the chilling history of the Inquisition, a period marked by fear, oppression, and brutal persecution in the name of religious conformity. This episode uncovers the Inquisition's origins, its methods of torture, and its devastating impact on those who sought to live out their faith apart from the doctrines of Rome.

Through harrowing accounts, we meet individuals who faced unspeakable cruelty for their beliefs, including being subjected to physical torment, public executions, and forced recantations. Yet, amid the darkness, the chapter highlights remarkable stories of courage, resilience, and steadfast faith.

Join us as we examine the stark realities of this dark chapter in Christian history and reflect on its enduring lessons for the Church today.
