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.
