John Knox and the British Reformations

by Roger A. Mason (Editor)

Overview

Published in 1998. John Knox is one of the towering figures of the European reformation, his name synonymous with hard-line evangelical Protestantism, and his influence spreading far beyond his native Scotland. This volume seeks to reassess Knox's career in the context of the European Reformation as a whole, but with particular reference to his impact in Scotland and England. The 13 contributors, all acknowledged authorities in the field, together provide a significant reappraisal of Knox and his role in the British Reformations.

Editorial Reviews

Made up of the proceedings of a conference held at St. Andrews University in June/July 1997 to mark the 450th anniversary of John Knox's debut as a Protestant teacher, this collection of essays serves as a reevaluation of the Scottish evangelical Protestant, emphasizing his career in the context of the European Reformation as a whole, but with particular reference to his influence in Scotland and England. Contributions are arranged in three parts: the early years and exile; political and theological thought; and the Scottish Reformation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
