The Works of John Knox Volume 4

John Knox (1514-1572) was more a reformer of the Scottish Kirk than he was a systematic theologian as his collected works will attest. Knox had a profound influence upon theological and ecclesiological developments in Scotland both purely by the force of his personality and by the role he played in shaping the Scots Confession and the Book of Common Order. Knox was an ordained priest and served as a tutor prior to his conversion to Protestantism. Volumes One and Two: Knoxs famous History of the Reformation in Scotland.
