| Summary | "Life of John Knox: Containing Illustrations of the History of the Reformation in Scotland" by Thomas M'Crie is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on John Knox, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation in Scotland, detailing his life, contributions, and the broader context of the Reformation movement during the 16th century. The author aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Knox's influence on Scottish society, including biographical sketches of other reformers and insights into the state of literature during this transformative period. At the start of the volume, M'Crie sets the stage by emphasizing the importance of the Reformation as a significant event in modern European history. He reflects on Knox's early life, education, and the corrupt state of the Scottish church that led to his fervent advocacy for reform. The narrative introduces key historical figures and events influencing Knox's journey, such as Patrick Hamilton's martyrdom and the established ecclesiastical abuses. M'Crie notes the beginnings of Knox's spiritual awakening and the intellectual environment that informed his later theological positions, preparing the reader for an in-depth exploration of Knox's pivotal role in the Reformation.
