"A collection of prayers by the Scottish Reformer John Knox"--
John Knox Boeken
Deze auteur was een sleutelfiguur in de Schotse Reformatie, instrumenteel in de transformatie van de kerk in Schotland. Zijn theologische gedachten werden diepgaand beïnvloed door vooraanstaande hervormers, en zijn werk vormde de calvinistische theologie en het presbyteriaanse kerkbestuur. Zijn impact strekte zich uit tot het vormgeven van officiële liturgische teksten en het schrijven van geloofsbelijdenissen en kerkelijke ordeningen. Zijn prediking en geschriften ontketenden diepgaande religieuze en politieke verschuivingen, leidend tot de ontmanteling van katholiek gezag en de oprichting van de protestantse kerk.
