内容简介

China's Christian Martyrs is the first attempt to document those how have been martyred for Christ in China from all the various Christian creeds. Since the Nestorians first introduced the gospel to China in the seventh century, an estimated 250,000 Christians have been martyred. More Christians have been killed in China since 1900 than in all the other countries of the world combined. They include some famous names, but the great majority have been ordinary men and women, boys and girls, who perished in countless places and by the most barbaric methods because of their faith.

"When the history of the Martyr Church of China is written, it will be a beautiful record of suffering for His Name!"

- a missionary writing after the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, when more than 30,000 Christians were slaughtered.
