A deeply researched, well-written and comprehensive biography which vividly brings its subject and the milieu of the Scottish Reformation to life–but, even more significantly, the author’s approach to Knox is uniquely different to the contemporary preconception of a ranting dogmatic misogynist. This man of action lived a dramatic life: he was a galley slave, an exile, and a man who lived at the very centre of one of the most volatile periods in Christian and Scottish history, keeping his integrity intact.
