John Knox and the British Reformations

About this book

"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. The present 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 distinguished contributors, all acknowledged authorities in the field, together provide what is undoubtedly the most significant reappraisal of Knox and his role in the British Reformations to have appeared for two decades." "This book will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of Reformation Studies and the History of Political Thought, as well as to students of Early Modern Scottish and English History in general."--Jacket.
