We have categorized Captive Faith’s subjects by the era in which their captivity took place. We have not tried to list every captive of whom we have knowledge, but rather those who left interesting records of their sufferings. And we have tried to select a wide representation of the various pretexts under which Christians have been persecuted.
- Prisoners of the Bible Era (4000 BC–AD 70)
- Christian Prisoners in the Early Church Era (c. 70–300)
- Christian Prisoners in the Middle Ages (301–1200)

- Christian Prisoners in the Reformation Era (1501–1600)
