Resist Tyrants, Obey God: Lesson Learned from the Life and Times of John Knox

by Jacob Tanner

John Knox was one of the most remarkable pastors, thinkers, and reformers that the West has ever known. Born in the turbulent era of the 16th century, Knox became known as a bold defender of the Christian faith who suffered greatly for the sake of the gospel of Christ and His Church. Yet, despite immense conflict with the Roman papacy, various kingdoms, and even his own countrymen, Knox made it abundantly clear that he would resist tyranny and obey God at every turn. Half biography, half historical theology, Jacob Tanner examines the life and times of this courageous reformer to see what modern Christians can learn from him.

A great look at the life and theology of John knox and how we can apply lessons to our life today. It is clear and concise which makes it even better to see how John Knox relates to our lives today. I also found this to be encouraging as it tackles subjects that we still wrestle with, such as how to deal with authorities which defy God's Word.
