Excerpt from John Knox
Though they should want preaching seventeen year, Our parson will not want one sheaf of bear (barley).
Against the neglect and oppression of the Church, the poor had only the last ineffectual weapons of contempt and derision. The people ceased to attend the services, they so lightlied the Mass that priests complained that there was no longer a living to be made out of it. Cursing (excommunication) - once the awful severance of a sinful soul from the Church's charity and the mercy of God - became a jest and mockery to peasants as they sat drinking together. At the tavern.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life of the reformer John Knox, providing a detailed account of the first forty years of his life. During these years, Knox remained in the background, occasionally adjudicating local disputes and working as a tutor for children. When he was around forty years old, he became the associate of Protestant preachers and began to develop his own religious convictions. He became a leader in the Scottish Reformation, working closely with other leading reformers and helping to establish a new Protestant church in Scotland. The author of this biography uses Knox's own writings and the records of his contemporaries to provide a nuanced and detailed portrait of the man and his times. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Scottish Reformation and the role of John Knox in that movement.
