THE THUNDERING SCOT by Goddes MacGregor

THE THUNDERING SCOT

By

Publisher: Westminster

This is the fascinating story of a turbulent man in a turbulent era in whom the Reformation fires burned brightly and through whom Scotland emerged as a unified nation on the side of Protestantism. Professor Goddes MacGregor of Bryn Mawr has written a swiftly moving and brilliant narrative of the life and times of John Knox and no student of Reformation history will wish to miss this stirring book which brings the sixteenth century in Scotland so vividly to life. The general reader who delights to see the affairs of men through the lives of men will find this book both revealing and rewarding. John Knox is shown in his weaknesses as well as his strength as he spends his life prodigally for the glory of God.
