"The Martyrs Mirror is still a beloved book among Amish and Mennonites."
Is beloved an appropriate word for Wikipedia?
Also, why does the book's name lack an apostrophe (Martyrs' Mirror)? The article doesn't explain that.--

The explanation is doubtless because apostrophisation was not yet standard for possessives in English in the 1600s. Neither was
American English; and Wikipedia seems unduly addicted to doing that, too.
