Lang sets out to get behind the tradition built largely on Knox’s own History of the Reformation, which he cross-examines throughout. The life runs from Knox’s birth and Wishart’s martyrdom through the siege of St. Andrews Castle, the French galleys, exile in England and Frankfort, and his return to lead the Scottish revolution of 1559 and draft the Book of Discipline.
A provocative revisionist biography that sparked argument in its day and still rewards anyone interested in the Scottish Reformation. Download the free EPUB.
