John Knox
by Eustace Percy, Baron Percy of Newcastle
On This Page
Description
John Knox has suffered in this century from that trick of the popular imagination that seizes on one aspect of a historical figure and elevates it into the whole man. At one time he was the foremost Scottish genius, but in our day there have been those who would have us believe that he was a ranter, an iconoclast and perhaps a hypocrite. The Author of this classic biography has sought to find the truth between these two extremes. He shows us Knox against the disturbed currents of the show more Continent, where mediaeval Christendom was at an end and no new order had yet emerged from the chaos of creeds. show lessTags
