John Knox

A preacher finds his church nearly empty and turns his sermon into a warning against the powers closing in. At the door, George Wishart sends his sword-bearing companion John Knox back to his pupils with a farewell that sounds like a prophecy.

In 1546, Scotland is caught between rival political powers and a Church that answers reformers with prison and the stake. William M. Taylor’s account first shows Knox beside Wishart, armed against threats of assassination; soon, the sword at his side will give way to the “sword of the Spirit.” As persecution tightens its grip and the Reformation gathers strength among the people, Knox must find his own place in a struggle that reaches far beyond the pulpit. What will it cost him to stand for the truth?
