Convicted that the martyrs, though dead, can still speak to the church, bishop J.C. Ryle penned these pungent biographies of John Hooper, Roland Taylor, Hugh Latimer, John Bradford, and Nicholas Ridley in 1890. Along with an analysis of the reasons for their martyrdom he pointed out the salient characteristics of their Christian lives that will still prove to be examples, warnings and challenges to Christians today.
