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

"The Bloody Theatre, or Martyrs Mirror of the Defenseless Christians" by Thieleman J. van Braght is a historical narrative that unfolds the gripping stories of Anabaptists, Christians who faced terrible persecution and even death because of their commitment to baptizing only those who had personally confessed their faith, covering the period from Jesus' time to 1660; the book not only records the trials these believers endured but also seeks to ignite a similar, unwavering faith in its readers through tales of perseverance under immense pressure, and the beginning chapters warmly thank all those who helped preserve and share this deep history, connecting faith-based thoughts with the experiences of those who held strong to their principles despite brutal treatment.
