Best biography on John Knox till this day!
Very helpful in seeing the Reformation in Scotland, France and England.
John Knox was very influential and turned Scotland upside-down singlehandedly.
The episodes where he is with Calvin are true treasures!

At times I found this book to be a difficult read with dense language. Thomas M’Crie was a historian in the early 1800’s and so a good bit of the book is filled with language not often used.
That being said, this book is a must read for anyone that enjoys reformation history. The life of John Knox is remarkable. He was a man of great courage and love for the Gospel and the church. Despite the books age and newer accounts of Knox’ life, M’Crie’s biography continues to rank at the top of biographies on the Scottish Reformer.
