Knox's History of the Reformation

John Knox's "History of the Reformation" is a significant work that chronicles the Protestant Reformation in Scotland during the 16th century. Written by the influential Protestant reformer John Knox, it covers the religious, political, and social upheavals as Protestantism challenged Catholicism. Knox emphasizes the role of key figures, the struggles for religious freedom, and the establishment of a Reformed church. His narrative serves not only as a historical account but also as a reflection of his strong convictions about faith, governance, and the importance of scripture, shaping Protestant identity and thought in Scotland and beyond.
