John Knox's History of the Reformation in Scotland is a landmark of religious and national identity—a firsthand account of the struggle that reshaped a nation. Written with the fire of a preacher and the precision of a witness, it chronicles the martyrdoms, political intrigues, and divine providence that carried Scotland from Catholic tradition to Protestant reform. This modern-English edition renders Knox's sixteenth-century prose into clear, inviting language while preserving his uncompromising voice and the drama of the events he records. From the burning of Patrick Hamilton to the turbulent reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, you will walk through the birth of the Scottish Kirk as seen through the eyes of its greatest champion. Faithful to the original's meaning and spirit, this edition makes a timeless classic accessible to today's readers. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
