Summary "John Knox" by A. Taylor Innes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and legacy of John Knox, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. As a central character, Knox's transformation from a Catholic priest to a leading preacher of the Reformed faith is explored, highlighting the sociopolitical context of his time. The opening of the text sets the stage for Knox's early life and theological development, emphasizing the ambiguity surrounding his formative years. It reveals that little is known about his inner character prior to the age of forty, suggesting a significant internal transformation that led him to become a prominent reformer. The narrative describes his upbringing in Haddington, Scotland, and details his education at the University of Glasgow under the tutelage of influential theologian John Major, before hinting at the pivotal moments that would redirect Knox's life towards the Reformation and a fierce opposition to the Catholic Church. The author invites readers to consider the complexities of Knox’s personal faith journey and the moral struggles that defined his later public life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
