What is to follow Jesus? For these men and women, the answer was clear. They were ready to bear witness to Christ in the face of intense persecution, even if it cost them their lives. From the stoning of Stephen to the Nigerian Christians, persecuted by Boko Haram today, these stories from around the world and throughout the centuries will continue to inspire great loyalty to Jesus' way of reminding us that costly discipleship looks at any age.

Since the birth of Christianity, the Church honored the memory of those who suffered for their faith in Christ. The Anabaptist tradition, especially the stories of audacity and perseverance of the early Christian martyrs and the Reformation era were transferred from one generation to another through books such as Thieleman van Braght # 8217; s Martyrs Mirror (1660). Nevertheless, the history of the later Christian witnesses are often unknown.

Testifying tells the history of the early Christian martyrs Stephen, Polycarp, Justin, Agathonica, Papylus, Karp, Perpetua, Tharacus, Probus, Andronicus, and Marcellus, followed by radical reformers Jan Hus, Michael and Margaretha SATTLER, Weynken Klaas, Tyndale, Jacob and Katharina Hutter Anna Janz, Dirk Willems. But most of the book is devoted to the little-known contemporary evidence including Veronika L # 246; Hans, Jacob Hochstetler, Gnadenh # 252; tten, Joseph and Michael Hofer, Emanuel Swartzendruber, Regina Rosenberg, Eberhard and Emmy Arnold, Johannes Kornelius Martens, Ahn Ei Suk, Jacob Rempel, Clarence Jordan, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, Tulio Pedraza, Stanimir Katanic, Samuel Kakesa, Kasai Kapata, Meserete Kristos Church, Sarah Corson, Alexander Men, Jos # 233; Chuqu # 237; n Norman Tattersall, Catherine Wu and Yang Ekklesiyar # 8217; UWA Nigeria.

This book is part of the project bearing witness to history, the history of the joint project involving the collection of Anabaptist believers of different traditions.
