This volume consists of a collection of Knox’s writings related to the Reformation in Scotland, detailing the events and key figures involved during a turbulent period of religious conflict in the 16th century. The text is likely to focus on Knox’s own insights and defenses regarding Protestantism and its challenges against Catholicism in Scotland. The opening of this volume begins with an advertisement by the editor, David Laing, explaining that it completes the history of the Reformation in Scotland, integrating various works attributed to Knox, including his principal history and confessions of faith. It provides an introduction to the historical context, recounting the adversities faced by those advocating for Protestant beliefs during royal and external pressures, particularly from France. Significant events, such as military confrontations and political maneuvers involving key figures like the Queen Regent and the Earl of Arran, set the stage for the dramatic struggle for religious authority and the establishment of Protestantism in Scotland. The opening portion illustrates the tension and moral fortitude of leaders who sought to reform their religious landscape amidst significant obstacles.
