Paperback. Zustand: Good. The definitive biography of John Knox, a leader of the Protestant Reformation in sixteenth-century Scotland?Never before has there been such a thoroughly and sympathetically critical treatment of the 16th-century Scottish reformer?s thought and times. . . . A joy to read and a book to value.??Sean Michael Lucas, Gospel Coalition Based in large part on previously unavailable sources, including the recently discovered papers of John Knox?s close friend and colleague Christopher Goodman, this biography challenges the traditionally held stereotype of the founder of the Presbyterian denomination as a strident and misogynist religious reformer whose influence rarely extended beyond Scotland.

He was a proud member of the European community of Reformed Churches and deeply involved in the religious Reformations within England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, and the Holy Roman Empire. Casting a surprising new light on the public and private personas of a highly complex, difficult, and hugely compelling individual, Dawson?s fascinating study offers a vivid, fully rounded portrait of this renowned Scottish preacher and prophet who had a seismic impact on religion and society.…
