John Knox has suffered in this century from that trick of the
popular imagination that seizes on one aspect of a historical
figure and elevates it into the whole man. At one time he was the
foremost Scottish genius, but in our day there have been those who
would have us believe that he was a ranter, an iconoclast and
perhaps a hypocrite. The Author of this classic biography has
sought to find the truth between these two extremes. He shows us
Knox against the disturbed currents of the Continent, where
mediaeval Christendom was at an end and no new order had yet
emerged from the chaos of creeds and philosophies. No man could
stem these currents, but John Knox in his own country gave them a
direction. He became, if not the leader, at least the inciter of a
revolution. He set his mark indelibly on history, and not only that
of his native land; his influence upon the English court was
considerable, but he also became a figure of European significance.
"No grander figure can be found, in the entire history of the
Reformation in this island, than that of John Knox" wrote the
historian Froude. The Author has given us a balanced assessment of
the life and times of this remarkable man.
