Jesus taught that we should beware when all men speak well of us. Few have ever spoken well of John Knox, either in his own lifetime or in the centuries since. Was he excessively harsh and fanatical as his critics have painted him? Or was he appropriately hard and firm as his time and calling required?

In John Knox: Stalwart Courage, Douglas Wilson staunchly defends this staunch reformer, not only lauding his stalwart courage, but also upholding his much-neglected gentler virtues - love, mercy, tenderness, and humility. At Knox’s funeral, one of his friends said, “Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.” John Knox sought the approval of neither commoner nor queen, but only his God. John Knox was a reformer of church and culture worthy of honor and emulation, and his story should be one we know well.

Douglas Wilson has written a most timely book on John Knox, one hero of the Reformation who occasionally gets overlooked. Douglas carefully paints Douglas as completely as possible, showing all sides of his personality. It’s truly a remarkable work. And that speaks immeasurably to the hearts of believers. Perfection. And includes the best narration by David Webb.

This book is motivating and encouraging, showing that by God’s grace and His Holy Spirit, a man/woman can be used for His utmost purpose irrespective of the worldview or the era. I am encouraged to dig deeper in Christ and fearless, live with honesty and integrity so that Christ will be constantly glorified.

A must read/hear

For some reason the reader does dreadful impersonations of different accents whenever quoting people of a different culture. A strangely unnecessary and ignorant choice.

Not enough about Knox’s life with racist-impersonations
