Numerous early Christians have been persecuted throughout history for their faith. Some historians even go so far as to say that the martyrdom of its members gave rise to the Roman Catholic Church. Someone who would sooner die than repudiate Jesus Christ or his Gospel is a Christian martyr. Among the horrifying methods used to punish them for their beliefs were beheading, stoning, crucifixion, and burning at stake.

Around the world, millions of believers endure pain because of their beliefs. Religion shouldn't be used as justification for injustice. In order for society to advance, everyone should be free to practice their chosen religion without being pressured to do so.
The list of some well-known martyrs is provided in this book, together with information about their causes of death, early lives, and lasting contributions.
