Publisher's note:

Frequently represented as a violent revolutionary, John Knox was in reality principally a spiritual reformer. William Taylor traces his journey to Protestant convictions and his lifelong concern for the establishment of the reformed faith in Scotland. In a period of great turmoil, he was often exposed to danger and opposition, but faced everything with undaunted courage. This brief readable biography relates all the key events in the reformer’s life and ministry.
