John Knox for Armchair Theologians

Short Review: A good history of the Scottish Reformation . Wish there was more about Knox's writing.

This is mostly a history of the Scottish Reformation and Knox's role in it, more than an exploration of Knox as a theologian. I think given the limitations of the book (it is designed as a short introduction) it was a good decision. Knox is known for his long history of the Scottish Reformation and some very sharply worded critiques of Queen Mary and Queen Mary of Scots. There was a hint of the content of those, but no significant quotes from them. Knox also was significantly involved in writing the book of discipline, order of worship and confession of faith for the Scottish church. So he was quite influential. This was a good introduction to his life in just over 100 pages.
