説明 | A very strict Calvinist John Knox became the first Scottish post-reformation minister in St.Giles Cathedral (1560-1572), the High Kirk of Edinburgh where this statue can be seen. The sculpture is by Pittendrigh MacGillivray and dates from 1904.Knox was the author of: Historie of the Reformation of the Church of Scotland and also of a tract unfortunately titled: The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women! Alan Foster the great authority on Edinburgh's literary heritage makes the observation that anyone who writes under such a title "has to take what's coming to them" Can't disagree with him either. At the age of 50 John Knox married a girl 33 years his junior, a controversial move for a cleric renowned for aggressive preaching against the pleasures of the flesh, and almost everything else besides.John Knox 1513 -1572. |
