{"product_id":"the-works-of-john-knox-6-volume-set","title":"The Works of John Knox, 6 Volume Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately for many years hardback sets of Knox’s \u003cem\u003eWorks\u003c\/em\u003e have been virtually unobtainable by, and inaccessible to, the general public. Now, 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 have been reprinted. The present republication of the reformer’s writings provides a unique and remarkably affordable opportunity for a new generation of students to rediscover and get to know the real John Knox.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile 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.’\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVolume I \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChronological Notes of the Chief Events in the Life of John Knox History of the Reformation in Scotland \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook First, 1494–1558 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook Second, 1558–1559 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppendix \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVolume II\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHistory of the Reformation in Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook Third, 1559-1561 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Confession of Faith, 1560\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Buke of Discipline, 1560 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook Fourth, 1561–1564 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook Fifth, 1564–1567 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix, Glossary, Indexes of Persons \u0026amp;
