John Knox Libri
Questo autore è stato una figura cardine della Riforma scozzese, fondamentale nella trasformazione della chiesa in Scozia. Il suo pensiero teologico fu profondamente influenzato dai principali riformatori e il suo lavoro plasmò la teologia calvinista e la governance della chiesa presbiteriana. Il suo impatto si estese alla definizione dei testi liturgici ufficiali e alla stesura di confessioni di fede e ordini ecclesiastici. La sua predicazione e i suoi scritti innescarono profondi cambiamenti religiosi e politici, portando allo smantellamento dell'autorità cattolica e all'istituzione della chiesa protestante.

It delves into his arguments for resistance and the moral justification of challenging tyranny, reflecting the historical context of the Reformation. Knox's passionate advocacy for religious freedom and governance rooted in justice is central to his work, making this collection essential for understanding his influence on political thought and the fight against despotism.
