Reformation writings from John Knox, with editor’s notes and historical context


This volume gathers early works attributed to Knox and surrounding material, spanning the years 1548 to 1554 and the period of his ministry. It includes prefatory notices that explain how editions and manuscripts are used to illuminate the Reformer's position at the time, along with occasional notes about his personal history to help readers understand the era. The book also presents Knox’s Epistle to the Congregation of the Castle of St Andrews and a related treatise on justification by faith, accompanied by a brief summary and an inserted editor’s account. A substantial portion of the volume is devoted to contextual history, including Knox’s public vocation, his early sermons, and the formation of his ideas in the Great Church of St Andrews, with cross‑references to other early writings. The editor indicates plans for further volumes in the series and highlights the ongoing work to preserve and publish these materials as a literary monument to the Reformer’s memory. The work will be reprinted with notes and accompanying material that help readers follow the author’s theological positions and historical setting.
