"A collection of prayers by the Scottish Reformer John Knox"--
John Knox Livres
Cet auteur fut une figure centrale de la Réforme écossaise, jouant un rôle déterminant dans la transformation de l'église en Écosse. Sa pensée théologique fut profondément influencée par des réformateurs de premier plan, et son œuvre façonna la théologie calviniste ainsi que la gouvernance de l'église presbytérienne. Son impact s'étendit à la définition des textes liturgiques officiels et à la rédaction de confessions de foi et d'ordres ecclésiastiques. Sa prédication et ses écrits provoquèrent de profonds changements religieux et politiques, menant au démantèlement de l'autorité catholique et à l'établissement de l'église protestante.
