Product Description
For many years, clothbound sets of Knox’s Works were virtually unobtainable by, and inaccessible to, the general public. To mark the 500th anniversary of his birth (probably in 1514) and the 150th anniversary of the completion of the first definitive edition of the Scottish reformer’s Works (1846–64), these rare volumes were reprinted. Their continued availability provides a unique and remarkably affordable opportunity for a new generation of students to rediscover and get to know the real John Knox.
While these volumes will be invaluable for students, their message deserves a much wider readership. At a time when many are concerned how Christian influence is to be revived in the ‘post-Christian’ West, Knox tells the story of events set in what were, in many ways, days darker than our own. He both records and illustrates what he saw as the ultimate key: ‘God gave his Holy Spirit to simple men in great abundance.’
The production of this six-volume set has been designed to last into the next century. It represents an important contribution to both a more accurate view of Knox and at the same time carries its own message for those who may be perplexed about both the contemporary condition and the future prospects of the church today.

Titus –
This has been on sale for Reformation Day the last few years.
I am partway through Volume 4 of this set, and I heartily recommend it. The first two volumes include Knox’s History of the Reformation in Scotland, which gives the Reformed perspective on the events of the the troubles in Scotland during the regency of Mary of Guise and the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. Knox is studious (though less learned than Calvin), fiery (unlike Melancthton, and unlike Luther not ill-tempered), and full of courage.
The Scots is difficult to read at first, but one acclimates after a few dozen pages–easier than reading Chaucer in Middle English.
Although theologically I am not always in agreement with Knox, my respect for the man has remained steady as I have read these volumes. Christians of the twenty-first century would do well to acquaint themselves with this godly man who dealt with his own share of persecution and cultural opposition.
