This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Lives of the Protestant Reformers in Scotland From the view which I have been enabled to give of the Protestant Reformers in Scotland, I hope it will be evident that they were not, what some of the enemies of our religion have repre sented them and the reformers in other countries to have been, fanatics and ignorant enthusiasts, but men of a sound understanding, who generally had received a most liberal education and who, by the lights both of reason and revelation, fully considered the importance of the truths for which they were contending. It has been my endeavour to write their histories in such a manner as might tend to impress a serious regard to true religion. And, surely, l scarcely need to make an apology for my having intermixed brief anecdotes of some pious protestants, who deserve to be remembered, who, though they were not of a clerical profession, encountered the dangers of persecution, and, in various ways, were promoters of the reformation.

I have also laid stress on his modern Spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The History of the Reformation of Religion Within the Realm of Scotland  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The History of the Reformation of Religion Within the Realm of Scotland Classic Reprint written by John Knox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion Within the Realm of Scotland To supply the want thus indicated thirty years ago is the object of the present publication. Indeed, we look for a wider circle of readers than Mr. Carlyle contemplated. Even persons not accustomed to reckon themselves, or to be reckoned by their friends, among 'serious mankind at large, will find in this volume an amount of human interest, of dramatic incident, and of homely humour, which the title might not lead them to anticipate. And, if not in their case, certainly in the case of many of those to whom Carlyle directly refers, perusal of this popular abridged version ought to induce study of the full text as it appears in Dr. Laing s incomparable edition. No manuscript of the History in Knoxs handwriting exists; but what is known as the 1566 ms. (now in the possession of the University of Edinburgh) contains some marginal notes and corrections which Dr. Laing thought to be in Knoxs hand. That Ms., with the exception of certain portions added by various hands from other copies, is in the handwriting of John Gray, Clerk or Scribe to the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land, who acted as Knox's principal amanuensis. Dr. Laing generally adhered to the 1566 manuscript, although in some cases he preferred readings derived from what he calls the Glasgow ms., and from other sources.

Book John Knox and the Reformation  Classic Reprint

Download or read book John Knox and the Reformation Classic Reprint written by Andrew Lang and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Knox and the Reformation In this brief Life of Knox I have tried, as much as I may, to get behind Tradition, which has so deeply affected even modern histories of the Scottish Reformation, and even recent Biographies of the Reformer. The tradition is based, to a great extent, on Knox's own "History," which I am therefore obliged to criticise as carefully as I can. In his valuable John Knox, a Biography, Professor Hume Brown says that in the "History" "we have convincing proof alike of the writer's good faith, and of his perception of the conditions of historic truth." My reasons for dissenting from this favourable view will be found in the following pages. If I am right, if Knox, both as a politician and an historian, resembled Charles I. in "sailing as near the wind" as he could, the circumstance (as another of his biographers remarks) "only makes him more human and interesting." Opinion about Knox and the religious Revolution in which he took so great a part, has passed through several variations in the last century. In the Edinburgh Review of 1816 (No. liii. pp. 163-180), is an article with which the present biographer can agree. Several passages from Knox's works are cited, and the reader is expected to be "shocked at their principles." They are certainly shocking, but they are not, as a rule, set before the public by biographers of the Reformer. Mr. Carlyle introduced a style of thinking about Knox which may be called platonically Puritan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of John Knox: Containing Illustrations of the History of the Reformation in Scotland, With Biographical Notices of the Principal Reformers, and Sketches of the Progress of Literature in Scotland During the Sixteenth Century; And an Appendix Consisting of Original Paper A work of this kind seemed to be wanting. The name of knox, indeed, often occurs in the general histories of the period, and some of our historians have drawn, with their usual ability, the leading traits of a character with which they could not fail to be struck but it was foreign to their object to detail the events of his life, and it was not to be expected that they would bestow that minute and critical attention on his history, which is necessary to form a complete and accurate idea of his character. Memoirs of his life have been prefixed to editions of some of his works, and inserted in biographical collections and periodical publications 3 but in many instances their authors were destitute of proper information, and in others they were precluded, by the limits to which they were confined, from entering into those minute state ments which are so useful for illustrating individual character, and which render biography both pleasing and instructive. Nor can it escape observation, that a number of writers have been guilty of great injustice to the memory of our Reformer, and from prejudice, from ignorance, or from inattention, have exhibited a distorted caricature instead of a genuine portrait.

Download or read book The History of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland Classic Reprint written by John Knox and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland "It is really a loss to English and even to universal literature that Knox's hasty and strangely interesting, impressive, and peculiar Book, called The History of the Reformation in Scotland, has not been rendered far more extensively legible to serious mankind at large than is hitherto the case. There is in it, ... a really singular degree of clearness, sharp just insight and perspicacity, now and then of picturesqueness and visuality, as if the thing was set before your eyes; and everywhere a feeling of the most perfect credibility and veracity: that is to say altogether, of Knox's high qualities as an observer and narrator... This man, you can discern, has seized the essential elements of the phenomenon, and done a right portrait of it; a man with an actually seeing eye... "Besides this perfect clearness, naivete, and almost unintentional picturesqueness, there are to be found in Knox's swift flowing History many other kinds of 'geniality, ' and indeed of far higher excellences than are wont to be included under that designation. The grand Italian Dante is not more in earnest about this inscrutable Immensity than Knox is. There is in Knox throughout the spirit of an old Hebrew Prophet, such as may have been in Moses in the Desert at sight of the Burning Bush; spirit almost altogether unique among modern men; and along with all this, in singular neighbourhood to it, a sympathy, a veiled tenderness of heart, veiled, but deep and of piercing vehemence, and withal even an inward gaiety of soul, alive to the ridicule that dwells in whatever is ridiculous, in fact a fine vein of humour, which is wanting in Dante... "The story of this great epoch is nowhere to be found so impressively narrated as in this Book of Knox's; a hasty loose production, but grounded on the completest knowledge, and with visible intention of setting down faithfully both the imperfections of poor fallible men, and the unspeakable mercies of God to this poor realm of Scotland."
